About Me
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Astrophysics at Texas A&M University. I grew up near York, in the UK, before moving to the North East to study Physics and Astronomy at Durham University. I obtained my Master's degree in 2018, and stayed in Durham to study for a PhD in Astrophysics under the supervision of Prof Ian Smail and Prof Mark Swinbank, which I completed in August 2022. I then moved to College Station, TX, to take up my current position.
My work lies at the intersection of observational astrophysics and data science, focusing on the properties and evolution of high-redshift dusty star-forming galaxies. These galaxies exhibit significantly higher star-formation rates compared to the Milky Way, and my research seeks to uncover the drivers of this activity and their evolutionary pathways toward the more passive galaxies observed in the local Universe. I leverage data from cutting-edge astronomical facilities such as ALMA, VLT, and JWST, applying advanced methodologies including millimeter and near-infrared spectroscopy, velocity field modeling, and spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting. My expertise spans data acquisition, modeling, and analysis, integrating large datasets to draw insights into astrophysical processes.
