Contact & Office Hours

Prospective researchers

I welcome enquiries from honours, master’s and doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers interested in modified gravity, dark energy and dark matter, cosmic structure, cosmological tensions and black-hole physics.

In your first email, please include your current degree or research stage, a short CV, the topics that interest you and your intended start period. Briefly describe any relevant theoretical, computational or data-analysis experience.

Useful preparation

Depending on the project and degree level, useful preparation includes general relativity, cosmology, differential equations, numerical methods and statistical data analysis. Experience with scientific programming and clear mathematical writing is helpful.

Supervision and funding arrangements are discussed individually. An enquiry does not imply that a funded position is currently available.
