Hello, I am Rhys. I am a current PhD researcher at the University of Bristol. My research focuses on radio source analysis, using machine learning techniques. I have some experience with web-developement and I have been programming for more than 4 years.

Research Projects

PhD Research: Radio source multipicity and Machine Learning.

Inprogress ~ Due for completion 2026

Developing tools to create true associations between seperated radio sources using morphological, spectral and flux analysis of the source to feed into a neural network to learn characteristics of these associations. This will allow for quick processing of SKA and future radio observational data.

MSc Project: Studing the effect of Substucture in Star Clusters.

2021

Simulating a planetary system orbiting solar mass stars within a fractally substructured cluster using a dual integrator approach, where the cluster was integrated with NBODY6++ and star positions interpolated for use by the planetary integrator.

BSc Project: Examining Galaxy Cluster Properties from seperatly selected samples.

2020

Measuring galaxy cluster morphology, with a custom algorithm, and their luminosity-temperature scaling relation with observational data from the Chandra observatory was done to compare two samples of galaxy clusters.
