I'm a PhD student here at the University of Oxford studying under the supervision of Rob Fender, Ian Heywood and James Matthews.
I am interested in the extremes of our universe, particularly black holes and their surrounding environments. Currently, I am researching discrete ejecta from jet outflows from X-ray binaries both through numerical simulations and radio observations with the MeerKAT telescope. I run relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of 'blobs' of material launched from close to the black hole which propagate through space very close to the speed of light. Through this, I am working to understand the nature and energy budget of jets from X-ray binaries, as well as some of the physics involved when these relativistic blobs disrupt in the interstellar medium.
I am also developing methods to convert results from these simulations into predicted images from radio telescopes, in order to bridge the gap between simulations and observations.
