Since November 2024 I have been a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva in the Galaxy Build-up at Cosmic Dawn group. I study galaxies that existed in the first ~700 million years of the Universe in the Epoch of Reionisation. This epoch hosts some of the most extreme environments — exceptionally dense gas feeding extraordinary amounts of star formation in enormous clusters of galaxies. I try to understand how these environments impact their resident galaxies during a tumultuous time in the Universe’s history.

​

Previously, I was a postgraduate student at the University of Cambridge supervised by Debora Sijacki and Nicolas Laporte. In these three years, I had observing time on the James Webb space telescope and ESO’s Very Large Telescope. I published five first-author papers, including one in Nature Astronomy with multiple press releases (including ESO and New Scientist). I successfully defended my thesis in October 2024.

 

I obtained a First-class Master's degree in Physics with Astrophysics from the University of Bath in 2021.
