About this blog

Hey there. I was born in Ireland in the 70s (how auspicious, I am sorry I don’t have any colour photographs of Ford Cortinas here). After a lot of travelling, I’m now living in Paris since 2003. In fact, I have both French and Irish nationalities. I am an astronomer at the Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris; you can find my Work page here. I work on all the interesting things that we currently know the least about (dark matter, dark energy).

This is my blog, where I have been writing articles from time to time since at least a decade now. Clearly, I am not sure who my target audience is, as you’ll find here a somewhat unorganised mix of posts about astronomy, philosophy, history, and anything else which happened to interest me at the time.
