Emma Elley is a DPhil student supervised by James Mathews, working on high resolution hydrodynamic simulations of jets from active galactic nuclei over kiloparsec scales.

Her work focuses on modelling radio synchrotron emission from radio galaxies with ‘flickering” jet power to understand whether this leads to observable features on scales of 10s of kpc.  Further to this she studies the interaction of variability with magnetic field structures using relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations.

Her research interests are: Astrophysical Jets; Particle Acceleration; Active Galaxies and X-ray Binaries
