\subsection{Research Interests}
My research focuses on understanding the physical properties and kinematics of gas in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) and intergalactic medium (IGM) using quasar absorption lines. I am particularly interested in the interaction between gas flows and galaxy evolution across cosmic time. I also develop and apply innovative methods for analyzing large astronomical datasets, with a strong commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within the scientific community.
Observational galaxy formation and evolution, circumgalactic and intergalactic medium, quasar absorption lines, spectral fitting for large surveys, data science methods
