Full biography
Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Exeter, primarily working on instrumentation for optical interferometers such as the VLTI, CHARA, and MROI arrays. I previously completed my PhD at the University of
Cambridge on the same topic.
I also have a leading role in the organisation of the International Astronomical Youth Camp, a 50 plus-year-old summer camp that aims to inspire the next generation of astronomers. I'm currently the president of IWA, the
parent organisation behind the camp.
