My research focuses on investigating and constraining the dark sector using cosmological perturbation theory, with particular interest in Large Scale Structure and the Cosmic Microwave Background. I am interested in developing and applying theoretical and computational methods to connect models of the dark sector with cosmological observations.
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.
