Biography

A highly motivated researcher specializing in Cosmology and Astrophysics. I am proficient in the theoretical and numerical exploration of cosmological models, including cosmological parameter inference using various well-known MCMC software. I have worked on several aspects of the Hubble and S8 tensions. Part of the Euclid and LVK collaborations. I would describe myself as a fast learner and an excellent collaborator.
