I obtained my PhD in 2007 from the University of St Andrews, where I remained as a postdoctoral researcher until 2009, working with Professor Moira Jardine.
In 2009 I moved to the University of Exeter after being awarded an STFC (Science and Technology Facilities Council) Postdoctoral Fellowship.
From 2010 to 2012 I was a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) working with Professor Lynne Hillenbrand.
I returned to the University of St Andrews in 2012, where I was part of the inaugural cohort who were awarded an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship.
In 2019 I moved to the University of Dundee to help build their Astrophysics research group and degree programmes. My role, as Lecturer in Astrophysics, is a joint appointment between the Divisions of Mathematics and Physics.
