They/Them

I am trans and I am a theoretical astrophysicist. //

I’m a senior lecture at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. I study exploding binary stars while trying to explode the myth of a gender binary. I really enjoy teaching as much as I do research. When teaching I try to include as many examples from science fiction to make things interesting—and I do this whether I’m lecturing on physics or trans and gender diverse people.
