I am a radio astronomer specializing in the field of galaxy evolution. I have an undergraduate degree in Physics and a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Western Australia. I worked for 4 years as a Research Fellow at the University of Zagreb in Croatia. I then moved to the University of Cape Town Astronomy Department where I was a South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) Research Fellow before taking up a Lectureship at UCT in early 2022. My research makes use of data from South Africa's MeerKAT telescope. I am a primary or co-author on 32 peer-reviewed publications. I have significant science communication experience and am the co-creator, producer and host of The Cosmic Savannah podcast bringing African astronomy research to the general public.
