Research Interests
I am theoretical cosmologist with strong interests in constraining fundamental physics using novel cosmological observables. Topics I have worked on include inflationary model building, cosmic microwave background theory and data analysis, gravitational waves, the epoch of reionisation and 21 cm cosmology. I am the PI of the VIDI proposal 'the cosmic laboratory'.
