Software & Tools

I develop open-source software tools for multi-messenger astrophysics and transient astronomy.

Redback

A Python package for modelling, fitting, and interpreting electromagnetic transient observations.

Redback-CSM

Fortran-based circumstellar matter (CSM) interaction models for Redback, developed with Ryosuke Hirai. Provides a library of CSM/ejecta interaction lightcurve models that plug directly into Redback’s Bayesian inference framework.

Redback Surrogates

GitHub

Surrogate models for electromagnetic transients, providing fast approximations of computationally expensive physics models.

Redback-JAX

GitHub

JAX-accelerated version of Redback for GPU-enabled inference and gradient-based sampling.

NSArxivApp

GitHub

A full-stack Streamlit application for discovering, summarising, and exploring arXiv papers. Features semantic search, AI-powered paper summaries and chat, a visual knowledge graph of paper connections, and scheduled daily fetches. Supports multiple LLM backends (Ollama, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI) and can be self-hosted on a workstation for remote access.

Bilby

Bayesian inference library for gravitational-wave astronomy.
