INTRO PUBLICATIONS PRESS & OUTREACH CONTACT


I am currently a Submillimeter Array (SMA) Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics Harvard-Smithsonian, having just graduated from my PhD in September 2022 (Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Supervisor: Prof. Mark Wyatt). In my Fellowship, I am advancing work on observational aspects of planetesimal disc formation and evolution, primarily working at millimetre/submillimetre wavelengths.

My research forms two main tranches; i) studying the evolution of young discs and disc populations to understand how planetesimal belts form, and ii) investigations of debris disc morphologies to understand how planetesimal belts evolve. I am also a working group lead for the far-infrared NASA probe proposal concept, SPICE, the Space Interferometer for Cosmic Evolution, which you can read more about here.

You can read more about the focus of my research, my publications, ongoing work, and contact me using the links above. Below I have included links to various highlights of my research over the course of my career.
