Personal profile

Summary

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth. My research focuses on gravitational-wave data analysis, in particular estimating the impact of noise on gravitational-wave detectors and finding ways to mitigate it. I also have been working on unmodelled gravitational-wave searches and multi-messenger astronomy.

I graduated from the University of Glasgow with an MSc in Physics and Astronomy in 2016. I was awarded my PhD from Cardiff University in 2020.
