Author Biography
By day I am a clinical systems developer within the NHS specialising mainly in Pathology and Radiology software. By night I am an amateur astrophysicist, with interests in extreme environment astrophysics, and extrasolar planets. I am an undergraduate with the Open University working toward a BSc (Hons) Open Degree specialising in Astrophysics. My main interest is the study of high energy compact objects especially black holes. I’m also the lead astronomer for the Charterhouse Exoplanet Project.
In the last 10 years or so, I have done all sorts of outreach. I’ve done work for the IoP “Physics In the Field” events, I’ve worked with the WMA at their open-days and International Space Week nights. I’ve given lectures for BBC Stargazing Live events, and now I run outreach / talks for the exoplanet project.
