Research Interests

I am a graduate student at the UH Institute for Astronomy. I study the distribution of galaxies on large scales with the goal of understanding how the Universe has evolved over cosmological time. This gives clues about the dark components of the Universe: dark matter and dark energy.

My work combines all-sky galaxy surveys such as SDSS and Pan-STARRS with cosmic microwave background data from the NASA WMAP satellite. I also use data from Mauna Kea observatories.
