Hi! As of September 2024 I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics (BCCP), where I work with Prof. Uros Seljak on probabilistic machine learning methods for cosmology. I completed my PhD in physics at Caltech in 2024, under the supervision of Prof. Jamie Bock. I am a member of the SPHEREx, DESI and CIBER/CIBER-2 collaborations.

I work on a number of topics in observational cosmology. I am interested in the development and application of statistical methods that enhance studies of cosmic large-scale structure, using imaging/spectroscopy from galaxy surveys and intensity mapping datasets.

I also moonlight as a developer of the crowded field photometry technique "probabilistic cataloging", (PCAT for short, see Projects for more information).
