Astrophysics PhD student at the University of Washington
I'm currently working on my PhD at the University of Washington and, having explored near-Earth object solar system research with Mario Jurić and exoplanets with Eric Agol, I've settled into a thesis designing and applying self-consistent population synthesis and galactic dynamics simulations. Previously, I graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Physics and Astrophysics and spent a year working as a research fellow with Professor Selma de Mink, researching stellar evolution and gravitational waves.
I'm originally from the luscious English countryside near Newcastle-under-Lyme and I grew up with a passion for learning and understanding the world, which quickly led me to Physics. I've always been interested in the big questions that are still left unanswered about our Universe; What is the mysterious Dark Matter that permeates our Universe? How did the Universe begin? How unique is Life? What can we learn from gravitational waves? Therefore I am fascinated by astrophysics and the answers that it could offer to these questions!
