I am a Sullivan Prize Fellow in the Department of Astronomy at Indiana University. As an astrophysicist, I am captivated by the cosmic journey of galaxies and how they evolve over billions of years. My research investigates the structural evolution and star formation histories of galaxies across cosmic time from both observational and theoretical perspectives.

I focus on dissecting the intricate structures and star formation activities within galaxies to understand how they form, grow, and eventually cease their star formation. My work centers on mapping these processes using advanced data analysis techniques and tools, including those that I have developed: piXedfit for spatially resolved spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting and GalSyn for the forward modeling of galaxy simulations. By leveraging data from premier observatories like JWST, HST, and Euclid, I explore galaxies in stunning detail, from nearby systems to those in the early Universe, bridging the gap between simulations and observations to uncover the physical processes driving galaxy growth and quenching.
