Biography
I am a fifth-year graduate student working with Prof. Joaquin Vieira on high-redshift gravitationally lensed galaxies. I am currently in Munich until September 2027, participating in the Studentship Programme at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). I was a NSF Graduate Research Fellow from 2023 to 2026. Before starting my PhD, I completed my bachelor's degrees in Physics and Astronomy at Wesleyan University in 2021, with high honors in Astronomy, and from August 2021 to June 2022 I was a Fulbright Scholar at the Cosmic Dawn Center in Copenhagen, Denmark.
