About Me
I'm a solar physicist, science communicator and author, currently working at the Laboratory for Atmospheric & Space Physics in Boulder, Colorado. I work to pursue the mysteries of the Sun at the forefront of solar physics research, using cutting edge telescopes on the ground and in space.
In addition to my scientific work, I strive to share the wonders of the Sun and space with the public, through social media (80k+ followers), museums and observatories, and on television and radio. My second book, 'Space Hazards', published worldwide in 2025.
I am also an avid hiker, nature photographer, and skier, perhaps because the mountains take me closer to the Sun.
Some astrophotography and media highlights (top left - bottom right): finding my first book in an independent bookstore (Tasmania, Australia), lecturing at Fiske planetarium (Boulder, USA), moments before Annular Solar Eclipse (Texas, USA), Solar Orbiter launch (Cape Canaveral, USA), Lunar Eclipse/Blood Moon (Holmbury St Mary, UK), witnessing an extreme geomagnetic storm (Colorado, USA), presenting in front of the Sun (Colorado, USA), interviewing for the Associated Press (CU Boulder, USA), discussing the aurora with CNN (Colorado, USA).
