About
I am an observational astronomer interested in
galaxy formation and evolution, using imaging and spectroscopy
from both ground- and space-based telescopes
and developing analysis tools
to study both population-level properties
as well as the detailed nature of individual galaxies.
I've focused on studying distant galaxies as they existed billions
of years ago, near the peak epoch of cosmic star formation
("cosmic noon" at z~1-3) and at earlier times.
Much of my work has involved characterizing these galaxies' structures,
composition, and inner dynamics, which allow us to understand
mass assembly and transformations as galaxies grow, evolve,
and eventually quench.
Currently I'm investigating these topics
as a member of multiple surveys, including
the UNCOVER Treasury
and MegaScience surveys
(as Survey Manager),
and Heavy Metal.
