It's me!

About Me

I am (currently) a planetary formation postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sheffield. In a few months I'll be working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Arizona.

I was born approximately 956 megaseconds ago (as of the last time this website was built). I love to shoot both film and digital cameras, I quite like a hike, and I love to cook.

I am a theoretician at heart, and my research interests are the formation and evolution of planets, stars and clusters. My current research involves the simulation of planetesimals, my previous work involved the simulation of colliding massive stellar winds, and my future work is simulating the climate of exoplanets!
