Interests

I work on a wide range of problems involving radiative transfer and hydrodynamics. In particular my main focus is on the impact of radiation environment on planet-forming disks and the resulting planet populations. That work is funded by the Royal Society and UKRI/ERC.

I am also involved in a UV space telescope concept called Eos led from the US.

I also work with colleagues in SBBS/DERI on new astrobiology work on photosynthesis on exoplanets.
