01 / Research

Questions about galaxies.

My research interests span galaxy evolution, supermassive black holes, high-precision imaging, and the analysis of large astronomical surveys and multi-wavelength datasets.

01

Galaxy Evolution

Understanding the evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes.

02

High-Precision Imaging

Using detailed imaging and IFU datasets to investigate galaxies and their nuclei.

03

Survey Analysis

Developing data-analysis workflows for large astronomical surveys and imaging datasets.

04

Time-Domain Astronomy

Interested in transient studies, target-of-opportunity observations, and time-domain astrophysics.
