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.

Cosmic Correlations Show How Visible Matter Shapes the Universe

A correlation between two astronomical observables reveals the influence of visible matter on a universe dominated by dark matter.

APS-IDEA

The American Physical Society - Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Alliance

I was a facilitator the Online Learning Communities and Topical Cohorts from 2021 - 2024, before the format of the programme changed.

I led monthly meetings with teams from the Physics Departments of various universities across the world, to guide and support them in transforming their departments towards a more inclusive one where physicists from all backgrounds could excel. I used research-based transformational methods, to help them utilise sensemaking, to create safe spaces and to develop roadmaps to promote change.
