I’m an astrophysicist and instrumentation scientist working on ESA's Comet Interceptor mission within the space instrumentation group. My work focuses on the development, verification, and calibration of MIRMIS, one of the instruments onboard Comet-i.
Before joining Oxford, I completed my PhD at UCL (2020–2024), where I aligned, integrated and tested the Wide Field Corrector (WFC) for the 4-meter Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) and researched high-redshift galaxies to help understand the Epoch of Reionisation. I then went on to become the Lead System Verification scientist for 4MOST (www.4most.eu) at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP, 2024–2025), leading testing in both Europe and Chile at ESO’s Paranal Observatory.
