Hello! I am a CIERA Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University, where I study how galaxies form, grow, and evolve over billions of years. I study the stellar populations and interstellar medium of galaxies at a range of redshifts using multi-slit and integral field spectroscopy. By measuring the abundances of key elements such as magnesium, iron, and oxygen, I aim to uncover the physical processes that drive chemical enrichment and link a galaxy’s past star formation to its present-day properties.

Before joining CIERA, I earned my PhD in Astrophysics from Caltech, where I worked with Chuck Steidel and Evan Kirby. I completed my B.Sc. in Astronomy at Nanjing University.
