Hi there πŸ‘‹

I'm a researcher at Dirac (Institute for Data-intensive Research in Astrophysics and Cosmology), University of Washington! I work on commissioning the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) πŸ”­ + and the commissioning of LINCC-Frameworks (LSST Interdisciplinary Network for Collaboration and Computing).

LINCC-Frameworks

LINCC - Frameworks aims to 🌱 grow and develop 🌱 software for the analysis of the large amounts of data expected from LSST.

I am currently guiding the development 🌱 LSDB 🌱 ; the general package for efficient and scalable πŸ”¨ analysis πŸ”¨ and 🎯 cross-matching 🎯 of astronomy catalogs. We are particulary excited about how we use 🌱 nested package 🌱 to enable time-domain analysis.

The main goal of these efforts is to enable science in the LSST era. Find here the demo we made for a conference in May 2024.

LSST commissioning

I am a member of the science verification team. For instance, I have been working on the analysis of difference imagining pipeline using the data from the auxiliary telescope. See a notebook prepared for a May 2024 sprint for the verification of the observation rehersal data.

Previous work

I worked on commissioning the Prime Focus Spectrograph at Subaru telescope πŸ”­ as part of the data reduction pipeline team - focusing on 2D Point spread function modeling.

Science

My scientific work focuses on variability, AGN, and star-formation physics (papers here).
