My research focus is understanding the cycle of gas and star formation in galaxies, with the goal of understanding how galaxies die.

The gas reservoirs of galaxies participate in a complex cycle of consumption to form new stars, replenishment from pristine gas inflows, and heavy element-enriched feedback from dying stars. However, galaxies are rarely able to recover a reservoir of star-forming gas once it it is gone.

Understanding how, and why, galaxies lose their star-forming gas is essential to understanding galaxy evolution.

Current research

I am currently working on several research projects, including:

  • How gas removal impacts the atomic and molecular gas of galaxies in clusters
  • The multiphase properties stellar feedback-driven outflows in galaxies and their impact on their atomic and molecular gas
  • Connecting disturbances between the different gas phases of galaxies

Below are some of my research highlights

A massive outflow from NGC 4383

The first paper from the MAUVE survey! We charactersied the kinematic and chemical properties of a massive ionised gas outflow from NGC 4383.

PhD research

A journey through asymmetry in neutral atomic hydrogen from deep HI data, numerical simulations, and combination with IFS data from the SAMI survey.
