Hi there 👋

I'm a research scientist/engineer for LINCC-Frameworks (LSST Interdisciplinary Network for Collaboration and Computing). I am based at DiRAC Institute, University of Washington.

LINCC-Frameworks

LINCC - Frameworks aims to 🌱 grow and develop 🌱 software for the analysis of the large amounts of data expected from upcoming surveys, such as LSST, Euclid, Roman, and Schmidt Observatory System.

I am currently guiding the development ⚙️LSDB ⚙️; the python package for efficient and scalable 🔨 analysis 🔨 and 🎯 cross-matching 🎯 of astronomy catalogs. We are particulary excited about how we use ⚙️nested package⚙️ to enable time-domain analysis.

Find here the demo we made for the review of the project in February 2025. And check out lsdb.io.

Previous work

Commissioning of Rubin Observatory

I was a member of the science verification team for construction of Rubin Observatory 🔭. I was working on the analysis of difference imagining pipeline using the data from the Rubin commissioning. See a notebook prepared for a May 2024 sprint for the verification of the observation rehersal data.

Commissioning of Prime Focus Spectrograph

I worked on commissioning the Prime Focus Spectrograph at Subaru telescope 🔭 as part of the data reduction pipeline team - focusing on 2D Point spread function modeling.

Science

My scientific work focuses on variability, AGN, and star-formation physics (papers here).
