About Me

I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Astronomy and Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick. My research focuses on white dwarf demographics and atmospheres.

I completed my PhD in 2025 at Warwick, and I was supervised by Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, and funded by the European Research Council. The major project of my PhD involved using the Gaia satellite and ground-based optical spectroscopy to compile and analyse the largest volume-complete white dwarf sample to date - the 40 pc sample.

My main research interests are:

• White dwarf atmospheres: Identifying, characterising and fitting spectra of white dwarfs in the ultraviolet (HST STIS), optical (VLT X-shooter, 4MOST), and infrared (JWST NIRSpec and MIRI). Analysing the composition of planetary debris accreted onto helium-rich atmosphere white dwarfs. Testing state-of-the-art atmosphere models on multi-wavelength datasets to identify opacity issues.
• White dwarf demographics (samples and surveys): Statistics of local volumes of white dwarfs identified by Gaia - 40 pc (optical) and 13 pc (ultraviolet and infrared). Space density, completeness and age/mass distribution analysis.
