Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham

About me


I am an Assistant Professor in the Institute for Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the University of Birmingham. My research focuses on the theoretical modelling of transient and high-energy phenomena, particularly tidal disruption events, which I study using a combination of simulations and analytical tools.

Previously, I was a Marie Curie fellow in the Theoretical Astrophysics Group of the Niels Bohr International Academy in Copenhagen, and before that I was a post-doctoral researcher in the TAPIR group at the California Institute of Technology. I obtained my PhD from Leiden Observatory in October 2017.
