Hi! I am a senior undergraduate student majoring in Physics at SCU.
My research interests lie in time-domain astronomy and high-energy astrophysics, with a primary focus on tidal disruption events (TDEs) and other transients such as GRBs, FBOTs and supernovae. I am also broadly interested in compact-object systems (including black holes, neutron stars, and binary mergers), emerging topics such as “Little Red Dot” galaxies and AI for astronomy.
I'm open to discussing interesting ideas—feel free to reach out!
2025 - 2026 Undergrad Thesis: The nature and origins of long-duration high-energy transients, in progress!
2025 Coming first lead paper: eROSITA-RU Selected Tidal Disruption Events: Host Galaxy Properties and Spectroscopic Analysis, will submit to A&A very soon
2025.09 Submit On the Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Transient GRB 250702B/EP250702 to ApJL, under review now.
