Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCharlie Hoy is a Dennis Sciama Research Fellow at the University of Portsmouth with eight years of experience using gravitational-wave observations to probe merging black holes. His work blends Bayesian inference, numerical relativity and software development to extract source properties from LIGO signals and to model spin-induced orbital precession. During his PhD at Cardiff he authored 56 publications (h-index 30) and led a project that attracted international media attention and public outreach including TV and radio appearances. He has a strong teaching and supervision record and a First Class MSci from Imperial College London, reflecting a solid foundation in theoretical and computational physics. Notably, his research marries high-performance Einstein-equation solvers with statistically rigorous inference pipelines to turn complex simulations into astrophysical insight.
