I research extrasolar planets - planets around other stars - and focus on developing and applying new data science approaches for detecting and characterizing them.
I grew up in Sydney, New South Wales, and studied for my Honours and Masters at the University of Sydney. I studied abroad at the University of California, Berkeley, and in 2017 I completed my DPhil in Astrophysics at Balliol College, Oxford. I was then a NASA Sagan Fellow at New York University, before joining the University of Queensland as a Lecturer in Astrophysics.
