Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

  • Publications

I graduated with a PhD in solar-terrestrial physics from Aberystwyth University in 2009 and have since held a variety of research positions at many institutions both in the UK and internationally. My background and research interests cover solar and heliospheric phyiscs, the Earth's coupled thermosphere-ionosphere, radio propagation through space plasmas, planetary physics, and space weather. 

I have used ground based instruments such as LOFAR and EISCAT to undertake radio scintillation observations of the Earth's ionosphere and the solar wind. I have also utilised data from space-based data sources such as the ESA Swarm mission, STEREO, Venus Express, and others. 

Currently I am working on the Lunar Farside Transient & Technology Telescope (LFT3).
