I am currently a Radboud Excellence Initiative Fellow working in a number of projects primarily optimising science output with the up and coming MeerLICHT telescope. MeerLICHT will be twinned to the MeerKAT telescope providing simultaneous broad band optical photometry to the radio. My main research area is in understanding the morphologies of novae in outburst in the optical and recently I have started developing models to apply at radio frequencies. Please see the main research section [although still under construction] and my publication list for an overview of my research interests.
