My research has been primarily in the field of Observational Cosmology where I have investigated potential systematics ranging from the modeling of small-scale (s<30 Mpc/h) galaxy-galaxy clustering statistics to the impact of 2D spectral decontamination on redshift errors for science targets, both in the context of large-scale all sky spectroscopic cosmology surveys. The emphasis being on uncovering true nature of cosmic expansion, its apparent acceleration, and the growth-rate of large-scale structure.

At IPMU, I am working with the Prime Focus Spectrograph - Galaxy Evolution survey, assisting in the finalization of survey design, survey science validation, and scientific investigations to connect galaxies to the large-scale structure including observations of the galaxy assembly bias signal, which likely stems from tidal interactions with the cosmic web resulting in a bias that traces the large-scale structure and also produces intrinsic alignment, testing the relationship between galaxies and the cosmic web during the peak of cosmic star-formation (cosmic noon, 1.0 < z < 3.0).
