Research Interests

Broadly speaking, my research focuses on observational cosmology and particle astrophysics, including constraints on the nature of dark matter and dark energy and studies of the evolution of galaxies. In particular, I study the formation and evolution of large-scale structure in the universe using observations covering a broad wavelength range and numerical simulations. 

I currently serve as the Deputy Spokesperson of the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration.
