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.
