I am an astrophysist, science communicator and author, and the current Public Astronomer at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge.

I recieved my PhD in astronomy from the University of Cambridge, and worked as a galaxy evolution researcher for a decade before turning my love of science communication into a full-time position. I now deliver outreach to schools, run stargazing evenings, give public lectures, and write about all things astronomical.

My first children's book, Astrophysics for Supervillains, is available now (published by DK).

I am also a Bye-Fellow at Girton College, University of Cambridge.
