I'm a first year DPhil student in astrophysics supervised by Dr Becky Smethurst and co-supervised by Prof Chris Lintott. I'm interested in the co-evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their host galaxies. I'm specifically interested in the growth of SMBHs in galaxies which have not experienced any major merger activity in their recent history, and the subsequent effect on the properties of these galaxies.
Prior to coming to Oxford, I completed my MPhys in Astrophysics at the University of Edinburgh. In my final year project supervised by Dr Kenneth Duncan and co-supervised by Dr Adam Carnall, I studied a high-redshift radio galaxy (TN J1338-1942) using JWST NIRCam and NIRSpec IFU data, particularly investigating the properties of its host galaxy.
