Dr Constance Mahony

I use large galaxy surveys to understand how the Universe is structured and has evolved with time. My work centres on gravitational lensing, where correlations between the shapes of galaxies are used to study the underlying distribution of dark matter. I am particularly interested in using galaxy properties to unpick the intricacies of lensing and galaxy distribution measurements, both with the aid of large cosmological simulations and through analytic modelling.

I am an active member of both the Kilo Degree Survey and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time.
