About Me
I am a Research Software Engineer at LMU Munich, working at the intersection of astrophysics, machine learning, and scientific computing.
I study how supermassive black holes grow across cosmic time. By combining large-scale astronomical surveys, gravitational lensing, and computational methods, I search for rare, short-lived accretion phases that conventional selection methods can miss, connecting individual episodes of black hole activity to their assembly over billions of years.
My background spans academia and industry, integrating scientific research with experience developing data-driven solutions in fintech and e-commerce.
Research Interest
- Supermassive black hole and galaxy evolution across cosmic time.
- Time-domain astrophysics, including changing-state AGNs and transient accretion.
- Strong gravitational lensing for probing faint and distant black holes.
- Machine learning for rare-object discovery and physical inference in large-scale astronomical surveys.
Publications
Selected projects and scientific results are highlighted on my Research page. I also write about astronomy for a broader audience on XploreAstro. A complete list of my refereed publications is available on ADS.
