I am a Ph.D. candidate studying nearby starburst galaxies and their galactic winds with Prof. Alberto Bolatto. Broadly, I am interested in leveraging multiwavelength observations of galaxies to understand their evolution. I enjoy using facilities such as JWST, ALMA, GBT, VLT, and the VLA to characterize different properties of galaxies, such as gas and dust, to understand the star formation and feedback components of the baryon cycle. I am excited about the next-generation observatories (e.g., ngVLA and PRIMA) that will further our knowledge of how the baryon cycle shapes galaxy evolution.
