About Me

Hello! I’m a PhD student in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto and the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics. I’m broadly interested in simulating the universe. My research focuses on the formation of stars in our Universe. I’m particularly interested in the role of turbulence, magnetic fields and stellar feedback in the star formation process from galactic disks to protoplanetary disks. I’m interested in questions related to star formation in the nearby and early universe. In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching football (soccer), watching documentaries, hiking and exploring our planet.
