Overview

I am a postdoc at Leiden Observatory, Leiden University in the Netherlands. Previously, I was a postdoc at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. I did my PhD in Radio Astronomy at Leiden Observatory and my undergraduate and Masters at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. For more details see my CV below.

I study the evolution of radio loud Active Galactic Nuceli (AGN) mostly using low frequency radio continuum surveys. I am a member of the LOFAR Surveys Key Science Project. Links to my publications can be found below.
