Patrick is a DPhil student, working on developing methods to calculate x-ray scattering. Before joining the group, Patrick completed a MChemPhys at the University of Edinburgh (the group's former home), and completed his Master's level project at the Diamond Light source, developing ray-tracing code for synchrotron x-ray optics.
He spent his formative years in Vancouver, British Columbia, moving to Edinburgh in 2019. When not engaging in a spot of poultry husbandry, Patrick plays the accordion.
