I use genomics to study the process and mechanism of genetic admixture between species or populations. I am a scientific expert on dingoes, particularly their evolution, origins, identity, hybridisation and conservation.
Keywords:
canis dingo, population genetics, biodiversity & conservation, hybridisation, genomics, dogs, domestication, adaptive evolution, biogeography

I study nearby stars and their planetary systems. We know of thousands of exoplanets in the Milky Way, largely discovered with data from the NASA Kepler mission. I use that facility, the NASA TESS mission, and ground-based spectrographs in Australia, the USA, and Chile to find and characterise newly-discovered planets. I also work to understand the stellar activity of the planet host stars and how that might affect habitability. I'm also interested in developing machine learning approaches to maximise our ability to find small signals in these noisy, incomplete data sets.
Keywords:
extra-solar planets, machine learning, data analysis, astronomy & astrophysics

I am a theoretical particle physicist working in the area of New Physics beyond the Standard Model. My research is focused on neutrino and flavour physics, but I am also working on other areas of new physics beyond the Standard Model including dark matter, phase transitions in the early universe, collider physics and supersymmetry phenomenology.
