I have always been interested in astrophysics, and I now work on testing whether galaxies are mainly held together by an invisible substance called dark matter or by a tweak to Newton's law of gravity in situations where it has not been directly tested. I have done work on the Hubble tension, wide binary stars, the El Gordo galaxy cluster, thin dwarf galaxies and much more.
