I am an astrophysicist trying to understand the origin and evolution of galaxies like our own Milky Way. I use optical and near-infrared spectroscopic observations of galaxies from some of the largest telescopes in the world such as Keck in Hawaii and VLTs in Chile, and combine them with the state-of-the-art cosmological simulationsand theoretical models, which is essential to fully understand the physics of galaxy formation and evolution.
I am an ASTRO3D fellow at the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy, Perth (CIRA). Before this I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney with Prof. Kim-Vy Tran. I did my graduate studies (2018) at the Australian National University (ANU), Canberra with Prof. Lisa Kewley and Dr. Tiantian Yuan.
I am currently leading The MOSEL survey, which aims to study the detailed physical properperties of the Epoch of reionisation analogs at z~3.
My other passion is baking. A multiseed sourdough bread is the highlight from my recent baking adventures.
