I am an astrophysicist and Forrest Fellow at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) and University of Western Australia (UWA). I use digital "mini-universes" called cosmological simulations to understand how galaxies form and evolve. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki, and spent time at Flatiron Institute in the US as an Australian Fulbright postdoctoral scholar. I completed my PhD at the University of Western Australia in 2022.
