Biography

I'm a postdoc working with Prof. Joaquin Vieira on galaxy scale lenses found using the South Pole Telescope (SPT-SMGs). We use JWST to target these lenses and for the first time study rest-frame optical/near-IR properties of these high-redshift lensed galaxies.

Research Interests

Galaxy evolution
Star formation at high redshift

Research Description

I'm interested in star formation at high redshifts in lensed galaxies. Especially in calibrating various star formation indicators in the distant universe using rest optical to FIR emission lines. I use the code CIGALE for spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting of the continuum in the lensed galaxies and determine their properties.
