About Me

I am currently a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy at Durham University. My primary research interest is in understanding how energy from the supermassive black holes at the centeres of galaxies affect their host galaxies, and how this so called energetic "feedback" shapes the evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. I have previously a postdoc at the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh. I completed my PhD at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Prof. Philip Best, on a thesis titled 'The role of AGN in galaxy evolution'.

I have expertise in studying the evolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies using radio observations and combining these with a wide range of multi-wavelength and spectroscopic observations. I played a leading role in generating multi-wavelength and valude-added radio catalogues for the LOFAR Two-Metre Sky Survey: Deep Fields (LoTSS-Deep) Data Release 1 (see LoTSS-Deep DR1). I play an active role in major collaborations including LOFAR and WEAVE (as a Survey-Builder for the WEAVE-LOFAR survey).

I am also interested in working with the upgraded LOFAR2.0, where I am leading the multi-wavelength analysis team for the LUDO Large Program Proposal. In addition to this, I am also a member of the recent and upcoming Euclid, SKA, and 4MOST telescopes, and interested in performing detailed, high-resolution studies of large samples of AGN.
