Welcome!
I am an observational cosmologist and instrument scientist. My research interests cover a wide range of subjects in Observational Cosmology and instrumentation. The focus of my PhD research was on evolution of quasars as a function of their physical properties through measuring their multi-epoch clustering and their Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) over a wide range of scales. Quasars are particularly interesting observable in many ways: they are among the brightest objects in the universe in every wavelength which makes them perfect candidates to trace the light that comes from early stages of the universe. The correlation function of quasars at the peak of their activity, can tell us more about what triggers their tremendous release of energy into space.
My postdoctoral career moved toward knots and bolts of observational surveys: pre- and post-launch characterization for orbital and sub-orbital missions, commissioning efforts,developing tests and tools for the real-time data quality assurance of the acquired data for surveys such as Dark Energy Survey, the now concluded SOFIA mission and thermal sensors on orbiting platform for future planetary observations.
