I’m a cosmologist working as a Research Fellow on the ESA Euclid Mission at University College London. I am broadly interested in the field of cosmology — using analytical and simulation based predictions to measure fundamental physics (including the properties of dark matter, neutrinos, and extensions to general relativity — i.e. modified gravity) from observations of galaxies in the universe. Critical to this aim is the running and use of high resolution simulations and the development of higher order statistics to take advantage of the abundant non-Gaussian information locked in the distribution of the cosmic web.
Research Interests
- Beyond LCDM: dark matter, massive neutrinos, modified gravity, tensions and anomalies
- Simulations: constrained simulations, Local Group, N-body and hydrodynamics
- Cosmic web environments: minimum spanning tree, higher-order statistics, filaments and voids
A brief origin story…
I was born on the small paradise island of Mauritius (former land of the Dodos) near Madagascar and moved to the United Kingdom when I was five. I spent much of my childhood playing with lego and watching cartoons and documentaries which made me very popular (not really). In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, reading, drawing/painting, building miniature models and watching a bunch of sports (football, basketball, and F1).
