Assistant Professor
Astronomy and Astrophysics
I am an observational extragalactic astrophysicist investigating galaxy evolution, active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback, high-energy processes near relativistic jets, and the galactic baryon cycle. Using high-resolution, spatially resolved multi-wavelength spectroscopy and imaging from both ground and space-based observatories, I study how gas moves in and out of galaxies and how AGN feedback drives star formation quenching. My work also extends into the early Universe, where I focus on identifying the primary drivers of cosmic reionization, measuring Lyman-continuum escape fractions, and probing the physics of the earliest galaxies. My research methodology bridges multi-wavelength observational data analysis, astrostatistics, and theoretical modeling.
