My research focuses on the study of the first billion years of the Universe, spanning the Dark Ages, Cosmic Dawn, and the Epoch of Reionization. In particular, I am interested in the theoretical modelling of the cosmic 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen, which includes a range of phenomena from Pop III stellar modelling on small scales, to cosmological radiative transfer in the intergalactic medium on the largest scales. Before starting my postdoctoral work at IPMU, I did my PhD at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge under the supervision of Prof. Anastasia Fialkov and Prof. Eloy de Lera Acedo. As part of my work, I have extensively used machine learning and Bayesian inference techniques to accelerate simulations and perform parameter inference, combining data from multi-wavelength facilities (e.g. from JWST and 21-cm experiments). Outside of work, I love listening to music
