I received my PhD from the Institute of Astronomy (IoA) at the University of Cambridge in 2005. After this, I began a postdoc at the CEA in Saclay, France, leading to the submission of the DUNE concept to the French Space Agency. This later evolved into ESA’s Euclid Space Mission. In 2008 I moved to ETH in Switzerland, where I worked initially as a Zwicky Prize Fellow before being promoted to the role of Senior Scientist in 2011. In July 2019, I joined the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation (ICG) at the University of Portsmouth as a Professor of Cosmology with a Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship, where I will continue to grow my research in this exciting area of making discoveries enabled by our next generation of large cosmology experiments.
