About
I am a Sullivan Prize Fellow in the Department of Astronomy at Indiana University. I am an astrophysicist with extensive experience in statistical data analysis, data simulations, software development, and machine‑learning algorithms. My research focuses on extragalactic astrophysics, with an emphasis on understanding the structural evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. I map the physical properties of galaxies across a wide range of redshifts using piXedfit — a Python package I developed for spatially resolved spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting — and conduct comparative analyses with cosmological hydrodynamical simulations through forward modeling using GalSyn, another software package of my own development. I have extensive experience working with large multiwavelength astronomical datasets from major ground‑based telescopes and state‑of‑the‑art space observatories, including the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and Euclid.
