I am an assistant professor in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Virginia. See here for opportunities to join my group.

Questions that drive me are: How can we use the astronomical objects we see (galaxies, stars, quasars) to understand the things we cannot see (dark matter, dark energy, intergalactic gas) ? How can we leverage current and future astronomical surveys to measure, with both precision and accuracy, the expansion history of the universe ? … to learn more about the initial conditions of our universe ?

My research interests, namely in cosmology and galaxy/quasar evolution, include: large-scale structure, galaxy clustering, intergalactic medium based cosmology, Lyα forest physics, cross-probe analyses, early universe and machine learning for astronomy.
