About

I am an ARC DECRA Fellow and Senior Lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. My research investigates how galaxy-scale outflows impact star-formation in galaxies over much of the history of the Universe, from redshift z~0 (present-day) to z~6 (less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang). To achieve this, I lead observing programs on many of the world’s best telescopes including NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, ESO’s Very Large Telescope, and the WM Keck Observatory. I am the co-Lead of the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) International Team "Multiphase Outflows in Galaxies at Cosmic Noon". My excellence in research has been recognised through several awards including the Vice-Chancellor's Research Excellence (Early Career) Award and the Gruber Foundation Fellowship.

I am also actively engaged in science communication and outreach as a Superstar of STEM. I regularly appear on JoyFM's Astrophysics drive segment, provide expert opinion on Live TV (e.g. Al Jazeera) and radio (e.g. ABC), and present my reseach to the general public through events such as Pint of Science.

When not doing science, I am most likely to be found bike riding, playing violin or bird watching. I am currently a member of the Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra.
