Education
Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrophysics
Conducted independent research on cosmological simulations and weak gravitational lensing, publishing 4 first-author papers in peer-reviewed journals. Applied advanced statistical methods including MCMC sampling, Bayesian inference, and Gaussian Process Regression to analyze large-scale astronomical datasets.
Ph.D. in Physics
Specialized in computational astrophysics with focus on N-body simulations, data pipeline development, and scientific visualization. Developed Python-based analysis tools for processing terabyte-scale simulation data.
