Hi there! I'm an Astrophysics PhD student and NSERC Canada Postgraduate Scholar at Harvard University who is interested in astronomical instrumentation and the applications of AI. I'm currently leading the development of a near-infrared high-resolution spectrograph called VIPER which will study exoplanet atmospheres. I'm also involved with G-CLEF, the first light instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope which will look for an "Earth 2.0". At Harvard, I'm jointly advised by David Charbonneau and Andrew Szentgyorgyi.
Previously, I completed a BASc in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto (UofT), where I specialized in Engineering Physics and minored in Artificial Intelligence Engineering. At UofT, I did research on DMD-based multi-object spectroscopy and a young Type II-L supernova.
In my spare time, you can find me doing photography and animation. Check out my research and side projects, and feel free to reach out if you want to chat!
