I am a Professor of Astrophysics in the School of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Leicester.
My work looks at how planets form in discs around young stars like our Sun, how stars form, and how super-massive black holes grow. Most of my work involves building theoretical and numerical models of these systems, in order to try and understand how they behave and evolve. For a more detailed description, please see my research page.
My research is currently funded by STFC. From 2016-21 I held a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council.
