I am an observational astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge, where my research focuses on understanding the earliest generations of galaxies and the process of cosmic reionization. I am a Gavin Boyle Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, Cambridge and the Department of Physics, and am also a Fellow of Selwyn College.
I earned my PhD at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory where I worked with Professor Dan Stark as a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. I did my undergraduate studies at Arizona State University where I worked on the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array as a member of the Low Frequency Cosmology Lab.
