Research

Observational extragalactic astronomy, galaxy-intergalactic medium connection, quasar absorption lines, gamma-ray burst afterglows

My research focuses on understanding the formation history of baryonic structures. I study faint galaxy statistics and cross-correlation functions between galaxies and intervening absorption-line systems identified along random lines of sight toward background quasars and gamma-ray burst afterglows.

Research Fields: Cosmology; Extragalactic Astronomy
