I'm a research scientist/engineer for LINCC-Frameworks (LSST Interdisciplinary Network for Collaboration and Computing). I am based at Dirac (Institute for Data-intensive Research in Astrophysics and Cosmology), University of Washington!
LINCC - Frameworks aims to 🌱 grow and develop 🌱 software for the analysis of the large amounts of data expected from Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).
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.
The main goal of these efforts is to enable science in the LSST era. Find here the demo we made for the review of the project in February 2025. And check out lsdb.io!
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.
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.
My scientific work focuses on variability, AGN, and star-formation physics (papers here).
