I am a doctoral student at Argelander Institute for Astronomy (AIfA) in University of Bonn, Germany working in the Millimeter/sub-millimeter astronomy group under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Frank Bertoldi.

My research focuses on Line-Intensity Mapping (LIM) as a probe of cosmic large-scale structure, observational cosmology, and the Epoch of Reionization. I am also interested in characterizing noise and identifying systematics in observational telescope data. To advance these goals, I am working on creating the most realistic end-to-end simulations for next-generation continuum and spectrometer instruments.

I am studying the effect of atmospheric noise and systematics on the LIM signal, for the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST). FYST is a next-generation 6-meter telescope with high-throughput and wide-field of view, being built at an exceptional altitude of 5600 meters (18,400 feet) on Cerro Chajnantor in northern Chile. As a member of the CCAT Collaboration, I am leading the map-making and data-reduction efforts for FYST.

Line-Intensity Mapping

Line-Intensity Mapping (LIM) is an emerging and powerful technique that measures the integrated emission from many unresolved galaxies, tracing the large-scale structure of the Universe across cosmic time. It enables three-dimensional mapping of star formation and gas content, offering a powerful probe of galaxy evolution and cosmology.
