I am a Lecturer in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at Newcastle University. My research focuses on testing the standard cosmological model, primarily with measurements of weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering. I am also interested in astrophysical modelling uncertainties affecting these measurements, such as the intrinsic alignment of galaxies. My work seeks to examine and validate the standard assumptions of cosmological data analysis.

I am passionate about improving the inclusion of traditionally under-represented groups in the physical sciences.

I am a member of the Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC).
