About me

I am a tenure-track Assistant Astronomer at STScI, and hold the title of Data Science Mission Office (DSMO) Applied AI Scientist. I am also an Associate Research Scientist in JHU Center for Astrophysical Sciences and the JHU Department of Computer Science.

My research focuses on studying galaxies with multi-wavelength observations, machine learning, and interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) for scientific discovery. I am particularly interested in using graph neural networks (GNNs) to represent galaxies and their large-scale surroundings, and using interpretable convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to encode the connection between galaxy appearances and their physical properties. I co-lead the Chesapeake ML-Astro research group and am a member of the ISM*@ST group.

In 2024, I was named the Maryland Outstanding Young Scientist.
