About Me

Hi there! I'm an Astrophysics PhD student at Harvard University who is interested in astronomical instrumentation and the applications of AI. Previously, I completed a B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto (UofT), where I specialized in Engineering Physics and minored in Artificial Intelligence Engineering.

During the 2021-2022 school year, I interned at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, where I worked on G-CLEF, the first light instrument for the Giant Magellan Telescope. At UofT, I've conducted research about a young Type II-L supernova for my Bachelor's thesis, and also about DMD-based multi-object spectroscopy, which resulted in two papers.

In my spare time, you can find me doing photography and animation. Check out my research and projects, and feel free to reach out if you're interested in learning more about me!
