After finishing my degree I decided to do a Ph.D. at University College London. My research involved the analysis of ultra-high-resolution spectra of the interstellar medium towards orion.
One of the main highlights of this work was the discovery of small scale structure in the interstellar medium towards Delta Ori.
During the course of my Ph.D. I published a number of research papers which I list below.
