Biography
I joined the University of Cambridge in September 2023, under the role of Research Associate as part of the Cavendish Laboratory (Cavendish Astrophysics). Before this, I was working as a postdoctoral research associate at the Tautenburg Observatory in Germany, and before that I undertook MSc by Research and PhD degrees at the University of Hertfordshire. My first degree before that was an MSci Astrophysics degree at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Research
My research focuses on the dynamics of radio galaxies: massive elliptical galaxies that host powerful active galactic nuclei that release strong beams of radio emission. I am trying to understand the physics of this process, and how the beams or jets affect galaxy evolution as a whole, throughout cosmic time. I am also involved in the Square Kilometre Array construction project, which hopes to release a radio telescope powerful enough to detect the early universe hydrogen. I work on the state-of-the art software pipelines for the SKA that will process the raw data into science-ready images of the sky.
