I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Centre for Astrophysics Research at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, working on the WEAVE-LOFAR survey. My primary scientific interest is investigating the nature and impact of outflows accelerated by active galactic nuclei (AGN) on their host galaxies.

I attained my PhD from the University of Sheffield in July 2024. In the past, I have also worked as a telescope operator for the Isaac Newton Telescope, helped commission the ING `R2D2' DIMM, and investigated the evolution of light pollution at a major observatory.
