I am a research associate with the Centre of Excellence for All-Sky Astrophysics (CAASTRO). After finishing my PhD at UWA in 2015, which concerned statistical and computational analyses of dark matter haloes, I moved to Curtin where I am a part of the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) team, using the MWA to attempt to detect the faint signals of the first stars and galaxies.

My role in this team is primarily statistical. Detection of the EoR is an incredibly ambitious undertaking. Not only is the signal extremely faint, but between it and us is basically every galaxy and star in the Universe. These intervening objects obscure and distort the signal we are trying to detect, and so to unravel their impact requires sophisticated statistical machinery. My job is to provide some of that machinery, so that one day we can hope to extract that all-important signal.
