Bio & contact

​Hi! I'm Ellis. I am an Astroparticle Physicist specialising in the development of state-of-the-art models for cosmic ray (CR) transport and interaction processes within evolving baryonic structures in the Universe. My research lies at the interface of CR physics, particle astrophysics, galaxy evolution and high-energy multimessenger observations. I am best known for my work on CR feedback in galaxy ecosystems and have established a research programme that explores CR impacts across multiple scales - from the multi-phase interstellar medium to galaxy halos and beyond. Check out my my publications page to find out more.

I grew up near Leicester, UK, and did my undergraduate studies at Cambridge University in Natural Sciences, specialising in Astrophysics in my final year. I then obtained my Masters degree from University College London (UCL) before working in gamma-ray astronomy at the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany for a year. I completed my PhD in Astrophysics at UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory. Since then, I have been working as an independent post-doctoral fellow - 3 years in Taiwan (National Tsing Hua University), now in Japan (2 years as a JSPS fellow at The University of Osaka), and at RIKEN's Pioneering Research Institute, near Tokyo, since December 2024.
