Research Interests

I transferred to Columbia in 2018 as a continuing graduate student, and also work as a Guest Researcher at the Flatiron Institute. Prior to moving to New York City, I conducted graduate research at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on theoretical planet formation and stellar astrophysics. In my current research, I harness large scale cosmological simulations of galaxy formation to study stellar birth environments, as well as the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters.
