Current

Research Associate, Astrophysics Group, University of Cambridge (since Apr 2009) Working on advanced radiometric phase calibration techniques for ALMA. Additionally, leading procurement, installation & testing of ALMA's atmospheric temperature profiler. Research Associate, Astrophysics Group, University of Cambridge Continuing the research started during my PhD Astrophysics Group, University of Cambridge PhD `A Submillimetre Survey of Clustered, Low-Mass Star Formation' supervised by Dr. John Richer and Prof. Richard Hills. Commissioning and utilisation of a new heterodyne array receiver, HARP, on James Clerk Maxwell Telescope for a survey of the kinematics of cold, dense gas in the Perseus molecular cloud. Data collected represent one of the largest and highest-quality surveys of star formation in the CO, 13 CO and C18 O J = 3 2 lines ever undertaken. Extensive analysis presented including identification of outflows and gas & continuum clumps combined with radiative transfer modelling of the cores. Christ's College, University of Cambridge BA (Hons), MSci in Natural Sciences (1st) Research Project `Magnetic Fields in the Lobes of Powerful Radio Galaxies' with Dr. Julia Riley. Examining the magnetic field properties of a statistically complete set of double radio sources for insights into their dynamical evolution. Elected to BA Scholarship (2004) Elected to College Scholarship (2001) S.W. Grieg Prize for Natural Sciences (2001, 2004) Wellington School, Wellington, Somerset A-Levels: Maths(A), Further Maths (A), Physics (A), Chemistry (A) GCSEs: All 9 subjects at A* including English E
