I'm Morgan, a third-year PhD student in the Astronomy and Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick, supervised by Professor Don Pollacco.

My work is split into three main parts -

• Using Warwick's TWIST telescope to discover and observe variability in the globular cluster Messier 3 (NGC 5272)
• Observing with the Warwick 1-metre (W1m) telescope
• Simulating the small planet population detectable with the PLATO space telescope, due to launch in late 2026.

I lead weekly physics examples classes for 25 undergraduate students as part of the PX161 module.

My responsibilities include grading assignments and delivering two weekly classes (one as lead, one as support).

The subjects studied are Classical Mechanics and Special Relativity, Physics Foundations (thermodynamics), Electromagnetism and Quantum Phenomena.
