Profile
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Exoplanets working with Dr. Edward Gillen. My research interests focus on young transiting exoplanets, particularly planets that are observed by space-based telescopes such as Kepler and TESS. I am also interested in studying small, close-in planets near the radius valley.
I completed my PhD at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL), UCL in 2025. Previously, I obtained a Master’s degree in Astrophysics from the University of Cambridge, and a BSc in Physics from Imperial College London.
