I use maths to simulate the universe.
Results may vary.

For any astronomy lovers in the Cardiff area, there is an event at Porters pub I co-organise called Astronomy on Tap! This month's event is on the 20th from 6pm with free entry so if you've got an appetite for all things space, it might just be up your street! 🔭 (Photo credit: Porters Pub)

Well it finally happened.
As of last week, my PhD thesis has been finally accepted 🙏 I'm so happy to see this work be published after so long. Onto the next thing now! 🔭

Currently unsure if I'll be continuing in academia at the moment so I want to share one of my favourite images from my PhD. The below image is a collage of the temperature, density, metallicity and radial velocity of the gaseous halo around a galaxy in computational simulations. More in replies 🔭

The heart nebula is located 7500 light years from Earth and contains a lot of hydrogen gas and dust. It’s an incredible sight for any astrophotographer so look towards the constellation of Cassiopeia to get some snaps of it! Image credit to Terry Hancock www.flickr.com/photos/terry...
