This page highlights academic and independent projects that reflect my interest in observational cosmology, dark matter, and large scale structure, as well as my preparation for research focused environments.
I have undertaken independent study in cosmology and astrophysics beyond formal coursework, focusing on the physics of the expanding Universe, dark matter, and the formation of cosmic structures. This includes reading research papers, review articles, and standard textbooks to build a strong conceptual foundation.
As part of my academic preparation, I have explored how galaxy groups and clusters can be used to infer the distribution of dark matter through their observable properties. This includes understanding the role of environment, satellite galaxies, and the connection between baryonic matter and underlying dark matter halos.
I am developing skills in data analysis relevant to astronomy, including basic handling and interpretation of datasets, visualization, and the use of computational tools to extract physical meaning from data. These skills form the foundation for future work with large astronomical surveys and simulations.
I am actively seeking opportunities to participate in structured research projects that involve real observational data or simulations. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to studies related to galaxy environments, dark matter, and large scale structure while developing strong research and collaboration skills.
