Flows of gas in the CGM
My recent reasearch focuses on observationally constraining the flows of gas in the
circumgalactic medium (CGM) around distant galaxies.
I am trying to measure how (cool) gas is accreted from the CGM onto galaxies and ejected from
the galaxies into the CGM.
For this purpose, we kinematically connect the CGM absorption we find in background quasars to
the kinematics of the galaxies in whose haloes the CGM gas resides.
The data for my work comes from the MEGAFLOW survey.
Other research interests
My other research interests include the study of the properties of quiescent galaxies in the
early Universe and the study of high-z Lya emitters.
In general, I am very interested in an optimal analysis of astronomical data.
Recent work
I have recently been spending most of my time designing the observing software (OBSW) for a future multi IFU spectrograph called GIRMOS, which will be on the Gemini telescope.
Current interests
I am currently very interested in machine learning and AI, and I am considering to transition to a data science job.
