Studies of cosmology and structure formation with voids, clusters and weak lensing.
My research interests are in Cosmology and the Large Scale Structure of the Universe. I work with both numerical simulations and observational data. Primarily I focus on studies of Cosmic Voids and Weak Gravitational Lensing. Additionally I also work on Galaxy Clusters, Modified Gravity, Baryons, and Intrinsic Alignments of galaxies.
I am an active member of both the LSST-DESC and DES collaborations.
