Postdoctoral Fellow at STScI
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), jointly appointed in the Star–ISM and Milky Way Halo groups. I study how diffuse gas and dust in and around galaxies shape galaxy evolution by analyzing (mostly "local") observational datasets with modern statistical and data-driven methods.
I received my PhD in astrophysics from Columbia University and BAs in astronomy and physics from UC Berkeley. My thesis research focuses on studying the gaseous medium, particularly neutral hydrogen (HI), within and around the Milky Way and the Local Group.
Some of my recent works include:

Some of my recent works include:
- Understanding Kinematics near the LMC with coherent velocity structures.
- Examine kinematic and chemical associations between the Magellanic Stream and nearby UV absorbers and HI emissions.
- Likelihood-free inference to infer feedback associated parameters .
- Analyzing causal relations amongst physical parameters and observables in galaxy simulations.
- Understanding kinematic structures of magnetically aligned HI filaments.
- Developing the data driven diffuse foreground of the MW (eGSM)

Projects
I see art and science as two connected languages for exploring and sharing ideas. I have co-created and designed astronomy-inspired art projects to make scientific concepts more accessible, engaging, and enjoyable for diverse audiences.
