I am a second-year DPhil student in Astrophysics, working with Prof. Suzanne Aigrain on the Terra Hunting Experiment. My research focuses on modelling stellar variability using Gaussian processes to improve the detection of low-amplitude planetary signals in radial velocity observations. I am a member of Pembroke College and a Clarendon Scholar. Before coming to Oxford, I completed my master鈥檚 degree at New York University, where my research focused on applying machine learning techniques to exoplanet vetting and planet formation. I received my undergraduate degree in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin.
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.
