About

I’m an astrophysicist and cosmologist at the ANU Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics. My work focuses on supernovae and the accelerating Universe, along with survey design and instrumentation for transient discovery.

Research

Using Type Ia supernovae as standard candles, I measure cosmic acceleration and probe dark energy. I also work on survey strategy and UV instrumentation to discover and characterise transients.
