About Me
My research focusses on the behaviour of compact objects within the centres of galaxies, where the presence of a gaseous disk around the central supermassive black hole is expected to increase the formation rate of, and subsequently harden, stellar mass black hole binaries. As these binaries merge, they produce gravitational waves that we may be able to detect. I conduct this research from a primarily computational viewpoint, investigating the hydrodynamics of such systems using the code AREPO.
I am currently in the first year of study for my DPhil at Oxford with the support of my supervisor Prof. Bence Kocsis. Before this I completed my Master's in Natural Sciences at Cambridge University, where I wrote my thesis on the simulated hydrodynamics of AGN jets with flickering power under the supervision of Dr James Matthews.
