Overview
https://www.ras.org.uk/images/stories/press/NAM_2015/Monday6July/greaves_pebbles_artists.jpg
I observe planets forming around young stars, especially leading the Planet-Earth Building-Blocks Legacy eMERLIN Survey (PEBBLeS). I also research on connections to the solar system, particularly observing the dwarf planet Pluto and icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn that may harbour life. I have a background in observing 'debris' from comet collisions around stars like the Sun - I was the first to image such a debris belt around any Sun-like star - and interpret these data in terms of impact that could harm or help life on planets. I am the 2017 winner of the Institute of Physics Fred Hoyle Medal.

Research
I lead PEBBLeS (400 hours awarded on eMERLIN) and am a manager for NESS (on JCMT), and have been a co-leader of SONS (on JCMT) and DEBRIS (on Herschel).
Teaching
I teach 2nd year undergraduate modules: The Stars & Their Planets, Observing the Universe and Observational Techniques.
I have previously taught at all university levels from General Degree by Evening Class (open to any interested adult) to leading the Space Science theme for the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance Graduate School.
Biography
I have worked at Cardiff University since 2015, and previously at the University of St Andrews, the Royal Observatory Edinburgh, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, the University of Massachusetts, and Queen Mary University of London.
Scientific achievements:
2017: first ground-based detection of molecules around Enceladus
2011: first detection of the high atmosphere of Pluto
2008: direct image of the first proto-brown dwarf candidate
2000: First Magnetic Field Map of a Starburst Galaxy
1999: confirmation of the Goldreich-Kylafis quantum effect
1998: first image of an exo-comet belt around a Sun-like star
Wider Interest
I use textile art for exploring and engaging in astrophysics, and have worked extensively for fairness to women in academic science.
