Black Hole

Lensing of space time around a black hole. At Oxford we study black holes observationally and theoretically on all size and time scales - it is some of our core work.

  • Publications

I am a postdoctoral researcher in David DeBoer's group, contributing to the development of the Lunar Farside Telescope (LFT3). My research focuses on assessing the telescope’s sensitivity through modeling of Galactic foregrounds and developing novel methods for source identification and localization. I also investigate the unique opportunities offered by lunar-based experiments to search for non-gravitational signatures of dark matter.

My research background spans theoretical particle and astroparticle physics, as well as low-frequency cosmology. I have worked on the theory and phenomenology of axions and other dark matter candidates, novel particle detection concepts, and astrophysical probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. My previous involvement in radio astronomy included modeling the reionization-era 21 cm signal for the Tunka-21cm experiment.
