PhD ASTROPHYSICS

I am a Wolfson-Harrison PhD student at the Department of Astrophysics (Oxford) working under the supervision of Adrianne Slyz and Julien Devriendt. I work on a multiple of topics like e.g. cosmic rays, magnetic fields, high redshift Universe and the evolution of dust and organic molecules in the interstellar medium. The main focus of my work is to build a more complete model of galaxy formation in a cosmological context to put to test our understanding of the formation of the most massive galaxies in the Universe.

MASt ASTROPHYSICS

I received the European Scholarship by the Cambridge Trust to study the Part III at the University of Cambridge. The Part III program allows access to an immense variety of specialised courses in applied mathematics and theoretical physics. During my time here I pushed further my interests in theoretical physics and cosmology. I also worked on a project in the study of cosmic ray feedback in supernovae, which lead to paper.

BSc ASTROPHYSICS

The Royal Observatory of Edinburgh has been a centre for the development of astronomy and astrophysics in the UK and Europe for more 200 years. The University of Edinburgh offers a self-contained bachelor's degree in Astrophysics, based on a general education in physics and applied mathematics during the first two years and the access to courses in modern topics of astrophysics as stellar evolution, advanced cosmology, computational physics or galaxy formation theory. Thanks to my results in the International Baccalaureate, I was able to jump directly to 2nd year and finish the degree in 3 years.
