Research
I'm currently studing for my PhD as part of the Liverpool Big Data Science (LIVDAT) Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT), based at Liverpool John Moores University, in conjuction with the University of Liverpool.
My research is focused on using large-scale cosmological simulations of the universe (EAGLE) and will focus on implementing self-consistent annihilation simulations of dark matter.
Supervisors: Dr Andreea Font and Dr Ian McCarthy
LIVDAT
The Liverpool Big Data Science (LIVDAT) Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) will be a hub for training students in managing, analysing and interpreting large, complex datasets and high rates of data flow.
The CDT promises a unique training approach addressing some of the biggest challenges in data intensive science to tackle a growing skills gap. It will provide training in Big Data science to a cohort of almost 20 PhD students to provide the necessary basis for a long term R&D programme. The training programme has been developed to create future leaders in data intensive science. The projects will address R&D challenges in astronomy, nuclear, particle and accelerator physics and involve Monte Carlo studies, Deep Learning and HPC, as well as Data Analysis.
