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.

  • About

I am a DPhil student supervised by James Matthews, working on high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of jets from active galactic nuclei over kiloparsec scales.

My work focuses on modelling radio synchrotron emission from radio galaxies with 'flickering' jet power to understand whether this leads to observable features on scales of 10s of kpc. Further to this I study the interaction of variability with magnetic field structures using relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations.
