I'm an astronomy PhD student at the University of Oxford working to try and answer the question "How to Galaxies Evolve?" That's a pretty big question, so in order to get my PhD I get the public to help out classifying galaxy shapes online with galaxyzoo.org.

As well as being involved in the Zooniverse and all the wonderful work it does, I am organising the internationally loved .Astronomy 8 conference in Oxford in June 2016.

I am also heavily involved with public outreach. I've taken part in Bright Club, Soapbox Science and was the Audience Winner of the UK National Final of FameLab to find the next best science communicator.

Enthusiasm reigns here.
