My research brings together cutting-edge techniques from the fields of astronomy, statistics and data science in order to understand the evolution of galaxies across cosmic time.
</p>

<p>
I work with data from world-class telescopes across the globe and in space. I am a core member of <a href="http://vandels.inaf.it">VANDELS</a>, a large European Southern Observatory Public Survey on the Very Large Telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile.
</p>

<p>
I also develop astronomical software, most notably <a href="https://bagpipes.readthedocs.io">BAGPIPES</a>, a Python tool for generating complex model galaxy spectra and fitting these to both spectroscopic and photometric observational data.
</p>

<p>
When I'm not at work I enjoy travelling and spending time outdoors. I'm currently working on <a href="https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewmap&u=81733">climbing all 282 Scottish Munros</a> (mountains over 3000 feet). I also enjoy taking photos of the places I visit, some of which are shown below.
