I am a British astrophysicist working as a NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) research fellow at UCLA in the Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences department. I attained my PhD from Imperial College London in 2022. In October 2024, I will be joining the University of Cambridge as a Kavli Senior Fellow.

My research is based on exoplanet formation and evolution, specifically the various processes that occur to highly irradiated planets. I use numerical simulations and statistical modelling to rewind the clock on planet evolution. For more details, please see a list of my publications or my CV

If you interested in any of my work, please feel free to get in touch.
