I study galaxies near and far, but not in between.

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. I enjoy using different tools (numerical simulations, machine learning, observations and analytical calculations) to study the universe.
A major theme of my research is cosmic reionization and I study the Epoch of Reionization using numerical simulations. My PhD advisor is Prof. Nick Gnedin (who, according to himself, is also a movie director).
When I’m not doing research in my office, you can find me in classrooms or outdoors. There is also a non-negligible probability that you see me up in Madison, WI, studying cosmic rays with Prof. Ellen Zweibel.
For UChicago undergrads interested in theoretical and computational astrophysics: I’m happy to discuss research opportunities and give an overview of our group. Feel free to send me an email with your research interests.
