I am a post-doctoral researcher in high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics. I am currently working as a Commissioning Scientist as part of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory,
My research has included the following fields:
- Monte Carlo simulations of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT)
- Use and optimisation of IACT analysis techniques
- Detection of high-energy gamma-ray transients
- Technical simulations of IACT camera hardware
