Physics Ph.D. Candidate @ UC Santa Barbara

"Exploring the interface between theoretical and observational work in galaxy formation and evolution."

Introduction

I am a fifth-year Physics PhD candidate, with an emphasis in Astrophysics, at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). I received my B.S. in Physics with a minor in Astronomy from UCSB in 2021. My current research focuses on the dynamics of galactic winds and the chemical evolution of Extreme-Emission-Line Galaxies, which are local analogs of high-redshift galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization.
