I am a former DPhil student (until recently based at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg) who retains visitor status at Oxford Astrophysics. Broadly my interests include analysis techniques for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes like H.E.S.S. and the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory, as well as observations and modelling of Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Supernova Remnants.
