Graduate Research Assistant
I work with Prof. Julie Comerford to identify galaxy mergers in the CANDELS survey using a convolutional neural network trained on mock images from the IllustrisTNG simulation. I'm also investigating the connection between merger classification, AGN activity, and star formation rate of these galaxies.
