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
I was born and raised in Shanghai, China. I received my bachelor degree in astronomy at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). My research interests cover a wide range but focus on galaxies. In my spare time, you can see me playing badminton/swimming/jogging. I enjoy traveling in different countries and visiting museums.
Biographical Info
I hail from the sunny region of Southern California, where the abundance of dark sky preserves sparked my fascination with the cosmos. My current research is centered on the first observations of massive stars that have had their hydrogen envelopes removed by their binary companions. These stripped stars hold great significance in nearly every realm of astrophysics, spanning from potential sources of gravitational waves to their role in cosmic reionization.

Biographical Info
I use simulations to study gravitational waves signals from inflation and forecasting for the CMB satellite LiteBIRD. 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 was born and raised on Cape Breton Island in the province of Nova Scotia. My research is typically theoretical and computational, though I like including observational data whenever possible to stay grounded in reality. I’m interested in non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics and its applications to all aspects of star formation in astrophysics.

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.
