Lecturer
CurrentAwarded over £500k in research grant income to investigate the use of the Hadoop ecosystem and machine-learning based tools to store and analyse terabytes of digitised astronomical data. Supervised two PhD students developing (a) a hierarchical Bayesian framework that incorporate all available data when inferring underlying distributions and (b) a pipeline to process and analyse data from wide area astronomical surveys. Lectured two astronomy courses and, following exemplary student feedback, received recognition for the quality of my teaching.
