I am a Research Associate in the Physics and Astronomy group at the University of Leicester under the supervision of Prof. Richard Alexander. I was previously 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 a particular class of protoplanetary discs; self-gravitating discs which are young, massive and gravitationally unstable. I perform 3D SPH simulations to investigate how the evolution of such discs are altered by physical processes such as planet-disc interactions and warps. I am also interested in the dust dynamics of self-gravitating discs and linking theory with observations by studying the impact of physical processes on the disc structure.
