We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land

I am a Banting-Dunlap Postdoctoral Fellow jointly hosted between the Department of Statistical Sciences, the Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, and the Dunlap Institute. My research focuses on using a combination of astronomy, statistics, and computer science to combine and analyze billions of stars and galaxies from wide-field imaging and spectroscopic surveys to better understand the how galaxies like the Milky Way form, behave, and evolve over time.
