I am an avid researcher in the field of observational cosmology, radio science, and precision analysis. I specialise in Epoch of Reionisation searches, developing unique analysis approaches that push the boundaries of achieved precision within the radio-science community. I did my PhD at the University of Washington, and have worked at the University of Melbourne and Curtin University. In 2024, I began my tenure-track journey at the University of New South Wales as a Scientia Lecturer. I am always happy to have a conversation about pursuing an Honours or PhD project in early Universe cosmology using radio interferometers.
