Research I am currently a research fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) working Profile on both on an independent research program investigating the physics of radio-loud active galaxies and as part of the ERC ‘Radio-Life’ project with Professor Raffaella Morganti which looks at the life cycle of these sources. I obtained my PhD from the University of Hertfordshire in 2014 with a thesis on the dynamics and energetics of radio-loud active galaxies. During this time, I was also awarded a Santander research grant and an STFC STEP award to expand and disseminate my work further. My current primary fields of research focus on the dynamics, energetics and particle acceleration processes in powerful radio galaxies, as well as other sources of non-thermal emission such as radio relics. I also have experience of scientific programming, which has been applied in the creation of the Broadband Radio Astronomy Tools (BRATS)1 for the spectral analysis of radio observations. I have experience in radio interferometry using a range of facilities at frequencies between 30 MHz and 26 GHz, including data reduction and imaging using both AIPS and CASA. I am also an active participant in a range of consortia and key science working groups including; the LOFAR Multi- frequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS); the LOFAR nearby AGN KSP; the MeerKAT MIGHTEE continuum survey; the LOFAR study of the Virgo cluster KSP; the e-MERLIN legacy project of resolving key questions in extragalactic jet physics and the ngVLA study on the case for radio galaxy physics below 10 GHz. I have also undertaken studies at X-ray wavelengths including the reduction and analysis of Chandra observations.
