About me

I am a research scientist at the University of Oxford. I am also an Affiliate Associate Research Professor at the Pennsylvania State University, USA and an Affiliate Researcher at the University of Tübingen, Germany

My current research focus is on neutron stars, their evolution and how they interact with their environment. I use multi-wavelength observations (X-rays, UV, optical, infrared, mm, radio) to constrain the properties of pulsars, their pulsar wind nebulae, and the disks and planets around them. You can find some examples of my research on my personal homepage.

Recently, I became involved in the software development for the pulsar search at the SKA. 

Research interests

neutron stars
pulsar wind nebulae
pulsar planets and discs
