My research focuses on searching for and characterising pulsars, which are highly-magnetised, fast-spinning neutron stars, using observations from radio and X-ray telescopes. I use X-ray observatories, such as Swift, Chandra, and XMM-Newton, as well as radio telescopes to study high-magnetic field pulsars and magnetars. I also am involved with the PALFA survey to find radio pulsars using the Arecibo telescope.

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. For more information.
