I’m a cosmologist studying for a PhD at the University of Manchester. While being an observationally driven research area, a lot of my time is spent working behind the scenes on the more theoretical aspects. In particular, I’m interested in what is causing our universe to expand at an accelerated rate, often called dark energy. The nature and cause of dark energy is one of the biggest unsolved problems today in cosmology, so it’s great to be studying this at such an exciting time.
