I’m an astronomer based at University College London (UCL), UK, where I research extrasolar planets and moons. I am currently fulfilling a predoctoral fellowship at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) until October 2010.

My research interests include the theory of transiting exoplanets, the development of novel detection techniques, signal detection theory and exomoonology. I also enjoy publicizing science and welcome any questions on my work!
