I am a physics researcher working on the development of detectors to search for dark matter, one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in modern science. My work involves designing and testing new technologies, running experiments in the lab, and finding ways to improve the sensitivity of our detectors. By developing better superconducting materials and optimising experimental systems, we hope to build detectors that are significantly more sensitive, helping us explore new possibilities for discovering dark matter.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
