Assistant Professor

 

As an astrophysicist, my research focuses on the physical processes that shape the interstellar gas, regulate star formation and clustering, and drive galaxy evolution. I use world-class observatories such as ALMA and JWST to study the multi-phase gas and stellar populations across diverse galactic environments. I lead and coordinate key initiatives within several international collaborations, most notably PHANGS and MAUVE.
