I'm the PI of the NEWTS group and a Scientia Associate Professor in the School of Physics at the University of New South Wales.
I'm interested in developing data-driven methods to understand the formation and dynamics of planetary systems and
how the magnetic activity of their host stars changes over time.
I am a postdoctoral researcher working on the detection and characterization of exoplanets using subtle signals hidden in their lightcurves.
I'm especially interested in what these small signals can tell us about planetary shapes, atmospheres, dynamics, and evolution, using data
from missions like CHEOPS, TESS, and JWST. I am also particularly interested in finding planets orbiting evolved stars and binary star systems.
I am a 4th year PhD candidate interested in solar-like stellar activity,
Wolf-Rayet stars, exoplanets, and optical physics. I am a science member
on the TOLIMAN project. Additionally, while I don't actively research SETI,
it is a research interest of mine and something I like to talk about.

I am a second year PhD student working on discovering circumbinary planets through the apsidal precession they impart
on their host stars.
I'm an undergrad student studying physics at UNSW. I work with data from the Kepler mission to investigate
stellar activity of planet-hosting stars.

I’m a third year undergraduate physics/engineering student at UNSW. I analyse TESS data, looking for
exoplanets through the transit timing variations they induce on their neighbours.
