Royal Society University Research Fellow at Imperial College London
Theoretical Physicist / Gravitational-Wave Astronomer
Chair, NANOGrav New Physics Working Group

I am a Royal Society University Research Fellow at Imperial College London. I work at the intersection of theoretical physics and gravitational-wave data analysis, using gravitational waves as tools to probe the fundamental laws that govern our Universe.

My research focuses on developing and applying methods to detect and interpret gravitational-wave signals across the frequency spectrum, and on connecting those observations to questions in fundamental physics and cosmology—from testing theories of gravity to searching for signatures of new particles, fields, or early-Universe phenomena.

I am an active member of the NANOGrav collaboration and chair of its New Physics Working Group where we explore how pulsar-timing data can reveal physics beyond the Standard Model and general relativity. Together with David Wright, I am also a lead developer of PTArcade, a public Python package that streamlines end-to-end Bayesian inference for PTA data.

Finally, I also work on dark matter phenomenology, with an emphasis on how dark-matter bound states can shape the dark matter relic abundance and how dark matter may be probed in direct-detection experiments.
