About Me

I am a PhD student working at the Centre for Astrophysics and Planetary Science at the University of Kent (UK).

Under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Lowry, my PhD research is focused on using observations of small bodies in the Solar System to detect the YORP effect. This primarily involves using optical and radar observations to develop shape models of asteroids and analyse their spin states.  

More information on my research and publications can be found on my research page.

I also maintain informal lists of confirmed YORP detections and top-shaped asteroids. These are mostly for personal use, but I have made them available in case someone finds them useful.
