Contact
I am a graduate student in astronomy department at Columbia University working with Mary Putman, and a guest researcher at the CCA Flatiron institute working with Rachel Somerville and Francisco Vilaescusa.
Previously, I received my BAs in astronomy and physics at UC Berkeley.
I am interested in understanding how the multi-phase, multi-scale gaseous medium is involved in the formation and evolution of galaxies. For my thesis, I focus on the gaseous medium (mostly HI) within and surrounding the Milky Way and the Local Group. I also work on leveraging statistics and machine learning techniques to bridge the gap between observation data and theoretical models.
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 with DeepSets
- Analyzing causal relations amongst physical parameters and observables in a galaxy simulation (TNG & SAM).
- Understanding kinematic structures of magnetically aligned HI filaments.
- Developing the data driven diffuse foreground of the MW (eGSM)

Projects
I am passionate about bridging the realms of art and science. Along the first Microcosms cohort , I performed space theater program "Cosmic Bone" and astronomy-inspired song "Pop Songs for Pop Songs" in the Hayden Planetarium’s Space Theater.
