I am currently a NASA Postdoctoral Program fellow at the GSFC working on the Roman space telescope project. I received my PhD from the Washington State University under guidance of Dr. G. Worthey in 2024. My research is mainly focussed on tracking galaxy formation and evolution using different stellar population analysis models in conjunction with ground or space based observatory data (photometric and spectral).

Brief Bio
Research Interests
Investigating Stellar Initial Mass Function Variation with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Astrophysics: GalaxiesI am working on a project where I am simulating elliptical galaxies' spectra using several SPS models and verifying the ability of the Roman space telescope to observe the spectral features needed to infer initial mass function across a redshift of 0.67-0.94
