My research will be motivated by some of the most fundamental questions in science: how did our universe form, why does it look like it does, and what is its ultimate fate? Specifically, I'll be looking at how fluctuations in the early universe grew and evolved, acting as primordial 'seeds' for the large scale structure we see in the universe today. In Cambridge, I'm looking forward to joining the Gates community, and to beginning what I hope will be a diverse and challenging career in research.
