I am a Curtin Astrophysics PhD student working with A/Prof Cathryn Trott and Dr Jack Line. My PhD project will see me working with advanced statistical techniques such as the bispectrum and kernel density estimators, in order to separate out out foreground galaxies from the cosmological hydrogen signal.
I also enjoy long walks on the beach, and have an affinity for precariously attaching myself to boulders.

Hi! In my PhD I am trying to relate the visible to the invisible. This is done through studies aimed at exploring whether, and how, the observable properties of galaxies relate to the properties of dark matter halos surrounding them.
