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.

About me

I am a time-domain radio astronomer specializing in studies of highly magnetized neutron stars. I use a global array of radio/ X-ray telescopes (MeerKAT, LOFAR, NICER) to unravel the emission physics of these objects. I am also interested in the origins of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs); cosmological radio flashes of as yet unknown origin and I use state-of-the-art radio telescopes to unveil their true nature. Previously, I worked at the University of Manchester where I led the development and deployment of the MeerTRAP project, a commensal FRB detector at the MeerKAT telescope. Currently, I am leading a large survey proposal with the LOFAR 2.0 telescope to scour the Galactic plane for ultra-long period transients. At Oxford, I am part of the Pulsar Search Software team that is responsible for building and deploying the real-time pulsar and transient search pipeline for the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO). You can find my publications here.
