Welcome to my website here at the University of Leicester. I'm a Lecturer in Theoretical Astrophysics, in the Department of Physics & Astronomy. I also currently hold an STFC Advanced Fellowship.
My research looks at how planets form in discs around young stars like our Sun, how stars form, and how super-massive black holes grow. Most of my work involves building theoretical and numerical models of these systems, in order to try and understand how they behave and evolve. Consequently I'm a frequent user of various supercomputers, notably the ALICE and DiRAC machines here in Leicester. For a more detailed description, please see my research page.
