I am a theoretical astrophysicist.
More precisely, I am a John N. Bahcall Fellow (5-year member) in Astrophysics at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.
From 2017-2021, I was a PhD student in the Astrophysics group at DAMTP, University of Cambridge, supervised by Dr Roman Rafikov. I was also a member of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. For my thesis work I was awarded the International Astronomical Union’s 2021 PhD Prize.
From 2013-2017, I was an undergraduate in Physics at Merton College, Oxford.
My research concerns the dynamics of galaxies, globular clusters, binary starss, compact object mergers (LIGO/Virgo gravitational wave progenitors), and the kinetic theory of stellar systems and plasmas. If you would like to know more, contact me.
