I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago. I have broad research interests and experience in galaxy formation and cosmology. 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, I am doing research at home  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.
