I am an astrophysicist studying how galaxies form and evolve across cosmic time. I use cosmological simulations to connect the physics of gas, stars, feedback, and the cosmic web with the galaxies we observe, and to understand how those galaxies came to be.

My work sits between theory and observables, developing simulations that account for magnetic fields, radiation, cosmic rays, turbulence, and stellar feedback together. This more complete physical modelling is key to making realistic, testable predictions. Before joining my new institution, I was at Stanford and Cambridge, after my PhD at Oxford.
