Background

I lived in the West Midlands of the UK for most of my life, before moving to Keele University in September 2021 to complete my BSc in Physics with Astrophysics. After graduating, I moved to Newcastle University to begin my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Dominic Bowman funded by the Royal Society. Outside of my research you will find me playing (too many) video games, venturing on walks to take in the sights of nature and going to the pictures.

PhD research topic

My PhD is funded by Dr. Dominic Bowman's Royal Society University Research Fellowship (URF) grant, and is focused on eclipsing binary systems that contain a massive star component. Using photometry, spectroscopy and evolutionary modelling, my research goal is to conduct binary and forward asteroseismic modelling to accurately and precisely measure the core masses of these systems.
