About

I am a researcher working in astrophysics. My research focuses on the CAMELS suite of cosmological simulations, exploring how astrophysical feedback processes shape galaxy formation across a wide parameter space. I work under the supervision of Francisco Villaescusa-Navarro at the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute.

Cosmology — galaxy formation — machine learning for astrophysics — computational astrophysics — neutrino physics — Large-scale structure
