Biography
I studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, and then joined the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge for my PhD, which I received in 2002. I was awarded a PPARC research fellowship to carry out research at the University of Edinburgh, followed by an STFC Advanced Fellowship in 2004. I joined the University of Portsmouth in 2007 as a Senior Research Fellow and RCUK Academic Fellow, becoming a Senior Lecturer in 2012, Reader in 2014, Professor in 2018 and Associate Director of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation in 2019.
