Biographical Info
My research interests lie primarily in theoretical and computational astrophysics, with a focus on planetary and stellar dynamics, galactic-nuclear dynamics, and star–disk interactions in AGN disks. I use N-body simulations, dynamical theory, and numerical fluid/diffusion models to study multi-body gravitational systems, orbital evolution, stellar migration, and chemical transport.

Biographical Info
I am mainly interested in theoretical and computational studies of planetary structure and evolution from a geophysical perspective. My long-term goal is to understand how planetary formation and evolution shape the prevalence of oceans across the universe. My interests also extend to planetary dynamics, protoplanetary disks, and other areas of astrophysics, alongside community and outreach activities.

Biographical Info
I am primarily interested in using a combination of simulations, statistics and observations to answer questions about our Universe. Recently, I have used strong gravitational lensing and Bayesian inference techniques to constrain ultra-light dark matter theories. I have also worked on 21cm cosmology, from a theoretical and experimental perspective. For instance, I have investigated the effect of spin temperature on the relationship between matter and ionized hydrogen during the Epoch of Reionization with MCMC methods.

Biographical Info
My research ranges from constraining the early universe with both the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds (SGWB) to machine learning enabled millimeter transient detection. I believe it is very important to increase the visibility of minoritized groups, increase diversity, and help make academia a more welcoming and accepting place. Alongside my research, I am also very engaged with public outreach in order to promote enthusiasm for science in youth and advocate for diversity.

Biographical Info
I completed my bachelor’s in Astronomy & Physics with a Computer Science Minor and Math Minor at UofT in 2025. My main research interests lie within radio astronomy and instrumentation, and the wide variety of unimaginably powerful astrophysical transients, like quasi-periodic eruptions and fast radio bursts. I am also an avid teacher, with several years of experience TAing and tutoring. Check out my website for more info and some cool pictures!
Biographical Info
My research interests are generally split between two fields: compact objects and processes producing high energy radiation, and dark sector astrophysics and its pertinence to cosmology. Regardless, I remain most interested in topics which aim to expand understanding of fundamental physical properties. I tend to favour theoretical research but am actively learning to stay grounded in reality through observation!

Biographical Info
Currently a first year PhD student, I obtained my BSc in Earth Science (Geophysics specialization) from University of Waterloo in 2015. Afterwards, I briefly worked in engineering consulting before spending several years working in tech, and am now happily dedicated to my passion for astrophysics.
