Hi there! I’m an Astrophysics PhD Student under the supervision of A/Prof Christoph Federrath and Prof. Mark Krumholz at the Australian National University (ANU), Canberra.

My research focuses on studying the dynamics of the environment in which stars form also known as the Interstellar Medium (or ISM). I study how stars form from this interstellar environment, and how the radiation of newly-formed stars can in turn alter this environment, effectively resulting in a coupled complex system to study. This is studied using a combination of simple theoretical models and complex numerical simulations run on powerful supercomputers.
