Research
My research interests are primarily in using the hydrogen 21cm line to observe the early universe, particularly the first stars and Epoch of Reionisation. I am also interested in Bayesian statistics and data analysis methods. I have been developing a Bayesian data analysis pipeline for the REACH experiment, which aims at a joint fit of the cosmological 21cm sky-averaged signal, the foregrounds and the instrument itself using physics-rooted models, measurements and simulations. I also work on simulations to identify the impact of systematic errors in the Square Kilometre Array on the ability to detect the 21cm signal.
