Biography

Originally from Fife, Scotland, I studied for my MPhys (Astrophysics) degree at the University of Edinburgh, before moving to the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge for my PhD.

Research Interest

My research looks at how planets form in discs around young stars like our Sun, how stars form, and how super-massive black holes grow. Most of my work involves building theoretical and numerical models of these systems, in order to try and understand how they behave and evolve. Consequently I'm a frequent user of various supercomputers, notably the ALICE and DiRAC machines here in Leicester.
