I am an observational astronomer with the main goal of understanding how galaxies formed, and a particular interest in the role of growing supermassive black holes (i.e., Active Galactic Nuclei; AGN) and galaxy dynamics. Towards this I use a suite of observational facilities across the world (and in space!) covering the electromagnetic spectrum, to study both nearby and distant galaxies. I also research how sonification can be used (representing data with sound) to enhance scientific discovery, make science more accessible and make science communication more immersive.
