Surrey astrophysicist. Understanding the formation history of our Milky Way through dynamics and chemistry. Talk about papers on the Starxiv.
Excited about the latest paper with collaborators! We find that in the case of missing phase-space coordinates, equilibrium dynamical models can recover the mass distribution and inclination of disc galaxies well but not the dark matter halo flattening! Find out more at arxiv.org/abs/2511.10445.

What’s better than passing time on the train catching up on arxiv papers?

Catching up with papers after a week’s worth of work travel. It’s going to take a while…😳

It was fun recording our first podcast with @nbuckley0810.bsky.social! For the astute amongst you, I've moved office (hence the boxes...).

My first PhD student Dr Paula Gherghinescu. She’s done an amazing job trying to understand the information content encoded in phase-space data of M31-like galaxies.

@paulajofre.bsky.social and I hanging out at a local coffee shop in Santiago horizon planning for a whole future of interdisciplinary collaborations!

Just came back from a wonderful week in Chile with @paulajofre.bsky.social and the ERIS team. It’s an interdisciplinary project where we borrow phylogenetic tools from biology to extract evolutionary histories of galaxies. We’ve even been building our own tools tailored to galaxy evolution.

I'll be on BBC Sky at Night next week, talking about galactic archaeology. Check out a clip here (www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...).
