Born in Belfast, I was educated at Methodist College Belfast to A-level, before heading to Christ’s College, Cambridge to study Natural Sciences, specialising in theoretical physics.
After completing a four year BA and MSci degree course, I moved to the Astronomy Unit at Queen Mary to study for a PhD in theoretical cosmology, supervised by Prof James Lidsey and Prof Reza Tavakol. I then moved back to Cambridge for a three year postdoctoral research associate position in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, followed by just over a year in the Theoretical Physics Group at Imperial College, London.
In January 2011 I returned to the Astronomy Unit, initially as a postdoc, and from October 2014 as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and proleptic lecturer.
