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 am funded by the European Research Council and the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

I completed my PhD in 2025 at Warwick, and I was supervised by Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, and funded by the European Research Council.

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.
• White dwarf-main sequence close binaries: Searching for hidden white dwarfs with bright main sequence companions. Spectroscopic fitting of WD+MS spectra. See our recent press release.
