I am a Stephen Hawking Fellow and Assistant Professor working in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Group at the University of Warwick, UK. I completed my PhD studying misaligned accretion onto a rotating black hole at Monash University, Australia. I then moved to the UK for a postdoc at the University of Leicester.

My current research uses numerical simulations to investigate planets in protoplanetary discs around young stars and black hole accretion discs. Simulations from my published work are available on my YouTube channel. I am also the creater of Coding with Sophie, an outreach program teaching children to code. We are currently engaging with schools in the Coventry area and are expanding to remote options.
