Research
I am a first-year PhD student supervised by Dave Clements, carrying out research into the evolution of dusty galaxies from high to low redshift. This includes galaxy SED modelling in optical - FIR, with a focus on the AGN-starburst relation in galaxies and, in particular, high-redshift quasars. My interests also include multiwavelength global properties of low-z IR-detected galaxies. Much of my work utilizes IRAS, SDSS and HerMES data.
I am a HerMES Science Working Member, currently focusing on SPS simulations of the Herschel scan map procedure.
Background
I graduated in July 2010 with a First Class MPhys Astrophysics with a Year abroad, from the University of Southampton. I spent my 4th year as a research scholar at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, working with Dr. Paul Green (thesis title: The Multiwavelength Properties of X-ray Active Galaxies in the Local Universe from Chandra and SDSS).
I also spent June-August 2009 as a research intern at NASA/JPL, working with Dr. Di Li on low-mass star formation in Rho Ophiuchus, with SHARC-II data.
