My research focuses on the physics of galaxy clusters — in particular their non-thermal properties, probed through observations of diffuse cluster radio emission, and the effect of the cluster environment on radio and star-forming galaxies. I lead MERGHERS, an SZ-selected cluster survey with MeerKAT, and I coordinate the science exploitation of the MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey (MGCLS). I am also involved in the BUFFALO, ACT and Simons Observatory collaborations, and I am a member of two MeerKAT Large Survey Projects, MIGHTEE and MALS.
