I welcome applications for graduate positions in my research group starting in 2025. Undergraduates should consult the Department's page on Undergraduate Research Awards.
If you are passionate about research in astrophysics and eager to contribute to a dynamic and inclusive team, I encourage you to contact me. Essential pre-requisites are an undergraduate degree that covers physics and astronomy, as well as experience in coding. Undergraduate research such as a senior honours thesis is a bonus.
I welcome applicants from all walks of life and am dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Join us in our mission to uncover the Universe's secrets.
