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 Department of Physics & Astronomy and Department of Computer Science.

My research focuses on studying galaxies with multi-wavelength observations, machine learning, and 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 am also leading an effort to improve the astronomical research process via AI tools.

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