About me

I am a Senior Research Fellow and LSST Community Scientist at the University of Nottingham, where I work on intracluster light (ICL), low-surface-brightness galaxy populations, and the use of diffuse stellar structures as tracers of the dark matter distribution.

My research sits at the interface of observational and theoretical astronomy. I combine controlled N-body simulations and Bayesian forward-modelling to build statistical frameworks connecting the spatial and kinematic properties of stripped stellar populations to satellite demographics and dark matter halo structure. I also work on realistic mock observations for current and forthcoming surveys (Rubin/LSST, Euclid), and develop open-source machine learning tools for large-dataset morphological analysis and object classification.

I am Co-Chair of the LSST Galaxies Science Collaboration Galaxy Morphology Working Group.
