Biography
I am an Associate Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton. I joined the Gravity group here in 2026—returning to where I began my career—after five years working my way from Lecturer to Professor of Physics at Royal Holloway, University of London. 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 moving to Royal Holloway. My research interests are the relativistic astrophysics of neutron stars and black holes. I am a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and currently the Project Scientist for the Gravitational Wave Transient Catalogue (GWTC) cross-division project, working to deliver GWTC-7.0. I previously co-chaired the Compact Binary Group and the Parameter Estimation working group and served on the IGWN Program Committee.
