I am PhD student at the University of Cambridge’s Kavli Institute for Cosmology. I am supervised by Dr Sandro Tacchella within the extragalactic astrophysics group. My research focuses on studying the formation and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. I am interested in understanding the link between the morphology and kinematics of galaxies and the baryon cycle governing their growth. The rotation curves of galaxies are also powerful probes of the underlying dark matter halo, and I am interested in studying the dark matter content and density profiles of galaxies.

During my PhD, I have developed a code called GEKO (the Grism Emission-line Kinematics tOol), which forward models 2D grism data from JWST and fits the observed spectrum using Bayesian inference to recover the morphology and kinematics of the emission line probed. This unique code opens the door to analyses of galaxy kinematics for large samples.
