Introduction
My reserach currently involves building better foreground models for the MWA Epoch of Reionisation experiment. I also use the MWA to search for polarised stellar flare emission. I completed my PhD at the Univerisity of Iowa with a focus on understanding the magnetospheres of dwarf stars using wideband radio observations and radiative transfer models.
Research Interests
- Foreground models for Epoch of Reionisation experiement
- Observational and numerical studies of stellar magnetospheres
- GHz/MHz radio surveys for transient sources including flare stars and exoplanets
