About Me

I am a Research Associate in the Astronomy and Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick working with Dr. Farzana Meru. Previously, I was a research associate at Physics and Astronomy group at the University of Leicester working with Prof. Richard Alexander, and a PhD student in the Astronomy and Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick under the supervision of Dr. Farzana Meru.

My research explores the evolution of planet-forming discs during the earliest phase of its life when they are massive and self-gravitating. I perform 3D SPH simulations to connect theory with observations by investigating how warps, planet-disc interactions, the star-forming environment, and self-gravity impact the morphology of the disc. I am also interested by how these processes impact the dust dynamics, and thus planet-formation.

Photography

In my spare time, often after a conference in an exotic location, I enjoy travelling and photography of wildlife and landscapes. A small collection of my photos is shown below.
