I am a first year cosmology postgraduate student working with Andrew Jaffe. The aim of my PhD is to investigate CMB polarisation and the implications for topology: the recently launched Planck satellite will measure the polarisation of the CMB over the next year or so. Currently, I am working on applying Bayesian statistics to the problem of determining the source of cosmic rays.
Background:
I completed a Master in Science (MSci) degree in Astrophysics at University College London in 2009.
