I am a PhD researcher studying quasars, highly luminous black hole systems, at Durham University. My supervisor is Dr. Leah Morabito. You can view my research publications here - ADS Search.

I am currently looking for a job to start in ~October 2024. I am interested in post-doctoral positions but also research software engineer roles too. I have advanced skills in radio interferometry and pipeline development.

I have several blogs on this website based on my PhD research and small programming projects. Please get in contact for any project ideas, job enquiries or just to have a chat about black holes or programming.
