I am developing a science analysis pipeline to reconcile multi-messenger gamma-ray and neutrino observations (CTA and KM3Net) with black hole models, as part of the Extreme Universe test science cases within the ESCAPE project.

My other research interests include using gamma-ray emission from pulsars to constrain both the sources of emission in globular clusters, and the properties of the axion.
