I obtained my undergraduate degree in astrophysics from University College, London, and a DPhil (PhD) from the Subdepartment of Astrophysics at Oxford University, under the supervision of Steve Rawlings. After postdoctoral research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with Wil van Breugel and Bob Becker, I moved to Berkeley in 2007 to work with Geoff Bower. I currently work as a researcher on the Breakthrough Listen project.
