Fenella joined us in 2025 fresh out of university, having recently completed a master’s degree in astrophysics specialising in classical field theory, cosmology and black hole physics.
Her final research project modelled the formation of a WIMP dark-matter halo around a primordial black hole, incorporating black-hole velocity to simulate merger scenarios. She has a longstanding interest in space science and exploration, and is at the start of her training in the patent profession. Fenella is looking forward to developing her skills and gaining experience across a broad range of technologies.
