BIO

Hello! I am a Ph.D. student in astrophysics at Johns Hopkins University. I graduated from University of California, Berkeley with B.A. (Hons) in Physics and B.A. (Hons) in Astrophysics, in addition to a minor in Music. I am an active science student, but also I spend my time with cameras and instruments.

​

My main scientific interest is in cosmology, especially in using observational data to probe the local universe.

I am part of the SH0ES team and contributed to the most recent publication of the measurement of the local Hubble constant.

 

Previously, I have worked on testing the theories for dark energy by connecting analytical and observational (experimental) results through computer simulations, as well as experimental atomic physics. These works are associated with UCB SNe Search Team (Filippenko Group) in UCB Astronomy department and Electron EDM Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I also carried several independent projects including collaborations with the Optical Cavity Team (Mueller Group) and another collaboration with my mentor Miguel Zumalacarregui (and his colleagues). Several outreach & education activities has been also part of my life, including curriculum development for Undergraduate Laboratory at Berkeley (ULAB) and talks for Super Science High school (SSH) summer camp students visiting from Japan.
