ASTROPHYSICIST

With my qualifications in astrophysics and passion for communicating science, I am a clear and direct scientific advisor.

I provided astrophysics advice for Andrew Hunter Murray's (QI elf, comedian and co-host of No Such Thing As A Fish) dystopian thriller The Last Day.

I taught at the University of Oxford as a tutor for Worcester College and the Astrophysics sub-department.

I was a panellist at the Royal Lyceum Edinburgh's talk show. I was interviewed by Business Insider for an article on black holes, featured several times on BBC Radio Oxford and presented at several outreach events.
