Introduction
I am currently a Junior Kavli Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Cosmology at the University of Cambridge and a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at St Edmunds College. My research focuses on developing novel Bayesian analysis tools and applying them to various cosmological studies.
During my PhD, I specialized in data analysis techniques for global or sky-averaged 21-cm cosmology as part of the Cm-Wave Experimental Radio Cosmology group and the REACH (Radio Experiment for the Analysis of Cosmic Hydrogen) collaboration under the guidance of Dr. Eloy de Lera Acedo, Dr. Will Handley, and Dr. Anastasia Fialkov.
You can find my thesis here.
I have published several research papers on topics such as calibrating Bayesian tension statistics, emulator development for the global 21-cm signal, and the application of Normalizing Flows in Bayesian workflows. My work has been featured in prestigious journals such as Nature Astronomy and the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Feel free to get in touch via email (htjb2@cam.ac.uk) if you have questions about my work or would like to collaborate
During my academic career, I have had the privilege of supervising multiple PhD, Masters, and undergraduate students in the field of astrophysics and cosmology. I have guided students in data analysis techniques for 21-cm cosmology, calibration methods for cosmological experiments, and theoretical modeling of astrophysical signals. I have also lectured on topics such as data-driven radio astronomy, Bayesian inference, and simulation-based inference for astrophysics and cosmology.
I have organized and participated in various conferences, workshops, and panel discussions, contributing to the advancement of knowledge and collaboration within the scientific community.
