I am a physicist and astronomer interested in understanding and testing the physics of compact objects like black holes and neutron stars.

I grew up in the UK and moved with my family to small-town New Zealand in 2007. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Auckland in New Zealand before moving to Australia to pursue a PhD in astronomy and astrophysics at the Australian National University. I graduated in 2019, and have worked at UNSW Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy, and then the University of Western Australia.

My research on many aspects of high-energy astrophysics has been tied together by a common thread of understanding how we build and test models of objects, events and phenomena in the physical sciences. I am currently a Forrest Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia.
