I am a PhD student at the Institute of Astronomy, the University of Cambridge, and I work in the X-Ray group. My research concentrates on looking at the outskirts of galaxy clusters (the largest collapsed structures in the universe) to understand how they continue to form, using data obtained with the Suzaku satellite.

In general, my interests are the properties of galaxy clusters, galaxy formation and evolution, large scale structure formation and cosmology.
