I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Leicester and the Operations Scientist on MIXS, the University's X-ray instrument on its way to Mercury as a part of the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission.
My work includes planning and executing the operations of our instrument, researching the interaction between Mercury's magnetic field and its surface, and laying the groundwork for scientific analysis of BepiColombo data when it arrives at Mercury in 2025.
