Since I was a little boy I have been fascinated by astronomy. When I realised that I could use maths and computers to do fun things with astronomy, I knew I was hooked for life. I never grew out of it and now I am lucky enough to be a professional astrophysicist. At LCOGT spend most of my time trying to find novel ways to engage the public in astronomy, creating citizen science projects like Agent Exoplanet.
I regularly appear on the BBC radio wales programme, Science Cafe and am a guest judge for the national Debating Matters competition. Engaging with the public is fun and I have been lucky enough to do it in several pubs with Ignite Cardiff and Bright Club.
Currently I am working at how we make our global telescope network accessible to the general public and what tools we need to make the most of its potential.
I love music and play the lute. Part of me thinks that makes me closer to a renaissance astronomer, like Galileo.
