Summary
PhD student at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics.
Full biography
I am currently a PhD student at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester, where my research focuses on developing observational techniques using radar for space situational awareness. I use the 76m dish at Jodrell Bank Observatory to look at things much closer to home than it is used to, including asteroids and space debris.
I also recently finished a masters by research at JBCA researching the small-scale structure of the Galactic Magnetic Field, focusing on finding the Faraday rotation of extragalactic sources through the diffuse emission of the Galactic plane.
Before joining JBCA, I completed a BSc degree in Physics with Astrophysics at the University of Warwick.
