Michelle is a PhD student in the Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology research group at King’s College London. Her background is in general relativity and cosmology - in particular, using gravitational wave signals to constrain modified theories of gravity. She currently studies novel characterizations of radiation from binary black hole systems and is interested in early-universe cosmology.

Michelle holds an MSc in physics from Imperial College London. Prior to that, she completed her undergraduate in mathematics at the University of Michigan.
