About
I am an Associate Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton. My research interests are the study of compact objects such as back holes and neutron stars using gravitational waves and pulsar astronomy.

Biography
I began my research career at the University of Southampton, working with Ian Jones and Reinhard Prix, where I completed my PhD in 2016 on Timing variations in neutron stars: models, inference and their implications for gravitational waves. Following this, I held a postdoc position at the Albert Einstein Institute, Hannover, before moving in 2018 to Monash University in Australia to work as an Assistant Lecturer with Paul Lasky. I then briefly joined the Institute for Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) at the University of Portsmouth, working with Laura Nuttall as a Research Fellow before taking up a lectureship in Physics at Royal Holloway, University of London in 2021. I stayed at RHUL until 2026, before moving to the University of Southampton. I am also a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and co-chaired the Collaboration's largest and most active observational science group, the Compact Binary Group from 2021-2025.
