My research interests
I am a postdoctoral researcher in Queen Mary, University of London studying early universe cosmology. My current interests include brane cosmology and cosmological perturbation theory.
The code I created to produce some of the published results listed above is available as the open source Pyflation module.
My PhD thesis, “Constraining Inflationary Scenarios with Braneworld Models and Second Order Cosmological Perturbations”, is available from the arXiv server.
I organise the London Relativity and Cosmology Seminar Series hosted by QMUL. I am a tutor for undergraduate courses in the School of Mathematical Sciences and am a supervisor for MSc projects.
My Academic History
- Started as a Postdoctoral Researcher in January 2010.
- PhD research student in Queen Mary, University of London from October 2006 to January 2010.
- Completed "Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces" MSc taught course in Imperial College London from September 2005 to September 2006.
- Graduated from University College Dublin, Ireland with a BSc(Hons) 4 year degree in Mathematical Physics. Awarded Conway Medal for final year results.
