Biographical Info
My research focuses on reconstructing the formation conditions of the Milky Way using the positions, kinematics, ages, and chemical compositions of pulsating variable stars. I use data from proprietary surveys and publicly available databases, including (but not limited to) the Halo Outskirts With VAriable STars (HOWVAST), the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S⁵), and the Gaia mission. These projects are pivotal to lay the groundwork for exploiting the large amount of data upcoming in the next generation of large sky surveys.
