About Me

I'm currently a postdoc at the University of Colorado Boulder, working with Dr. Erica Nelson. My research is centred around galaxy formation and evolution, ranging from compact star-forming clumps to compact AGN-like objects (aka Little Red Dots). How do galaxies grow? What drives star formation within them? In other to address these questions, I employ both near-infrared spectroscopic and resolved photometric observations to infer properties of galaxies across cosmic time.

Ongoing Research

Resolving Clumpy SFGs in Ground-Based Images with Image Deconvolution

Examples of deconvolved galaxies in multiple filters. Each row shows different galaxies, while each panel shows the comparison in the rest-frame UV and optical, as well as the composite images. Within each panel, the ground-based, deconvolved and space-based images are shown, respectively. The last row shows the composite images. The figures clearly illustrate that deconvolution not only offers a gain in spatial resolution, but can also robustly reconstruct structures that are barely discernable in the ground-based images.
