About me

Hi, I'm Marc. I divide my time between theoretical physics, natural bodybuilding, piano, and creative writing.

Physics

I studied physics at King's College London, graduating with a First and then an MSc with Distinction, before a PhD at the University of Surrey on how quantum systems trade energy with their surroundings. I passed my viva in November 2026. More about my research.

Teaching

I've tutored maths and physics since 2015, and I've demonstrated undergraduate physics and marked coursework at the University of Surrey.

Training

I've trained for twelve years: strongman first, then national-level powerlifting, and now natural bodybuilding. In 2024 I won PCA Coventry, placed third at PCA Manchester and the UKDFBA Novice Championships, and reached the PCA British Finals. I'm a qualified personal trainer and have coached clients since 2021.

Music

ABRSM Grade 8 piano (Merit, self-taught) and Grade 5 music theory. Beginner lessons will start after my move.

Games and writing

Away from physics and the gym, I design board games, run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, and I'm writing a novel set in a fantasy world of my own.
