Cosmologist and Programmer in Portsmouth, United Kingdom
I am a third year PhD student at the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation which is part of the University of Portsmouth. My research is funded through the Science & Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and focuses on combining probes of Dark Energy and Large Scale Structure. I was awarded my Open BSc (Hons) degree from the Open University after gaining a Certificate of Higer Education from the University of Durham in Astronomy & Physics.
Additional areas of interest include HPC Computing, Cybersecurity and Cryptography and the Open Science movement.
Away from my academic life I enjoy using and contributing to OpenSource software, walking and hardware hacking.
