I undertook my undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Oxford, obtaining a MPhys in Physics in 2007 and a DPhil in Theoretical Particle Physics in 2011. I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP) at Durham University (2011-2014), and at the GRAPPA Centre of Excellence at the University of Amsterdam (2014-2017). In 2017, I joined King’s College London as a STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow and Proleptic Lecturer in the Department of Physics.
By training, I am a theoretical particle physicist and my main research area is astroparticle physics. Roughly, this means that I am interested in topics at the interface of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
In my research, I am trying to figure out properties of dark matter. Dark matter is a mysterious form of matter that is very abundant throughout the Universe. We now have evidence that about 85% of the matter in the Universe is dark matter. The rest, about 15%, is the normal matter that makes up stars, planets, universities and physicists.
I am a phenomenologist, which means that I like to work closely with experimental colleagues to analyse the implications of their data for theories of dark matter or to come up with new search strategies.
