About
I am a graduate student at IfA Mānoa working with Ben Shappee and am a member of the ASAS-SN team. Most of my work focuses on studying extragalactic transient events through the lens of multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic observations, including active galactic nuclei variability and tidal disruption events.
I am grateful to have funding support through the NASA Fellowship Activity, which also enables me to do part of my PhD work at NASA Goddard.
