I am an Assistant Professor of Astrophysics at Princeton University. My group and I are focussed on the ground-breaking Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time, which will image more than 1 billion galaxies. We use galaxies to map the large-scale structure and confront questions about the composition and evolution of our Universe. Ultimately, our goal is to understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
Prior to joining the faculty at Princeton, I was a Kavli Fellow at Stanford in Prof. Wechsler’s group. I devoted my three years there to the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 cosmology analysis. My work was honored with the Tollestrup Award. I was then a Senior Kavli Fellow at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge and Trinity College. My work there was recognized with the Royal Astronomical Society's Early Career Award.
I have a First Class (with honors) undergraduate degree from the University of Edinburgh and I learned everything about weak lensing cosmology from Prof. Heymans during my PhD, which won the Royal Astronomical Society's Thesis Prize.
I am immensely proud to have started out on the tiny islands of Trinidad & Tobago.
