- PhD Candidate, Radio Astronomy, University of Sydney
I am a Research Training Program Scholar at the University of Sydney. My research expertise lies in radio astronomy, with a focus on synchrotron transients, particularly in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and tidal disruption events (TDEs). I have led 3 first-author publications and made direct contributions to 10 co-authored papers, including multi-wavelength observational campaigns, data processing, and interpretation. I am also an active member of several major collaborations, including OzGrav (Australian Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Research), the Astronomical Society of Australia (ASA), Variable and Slow Transients Survey with ASKAP (VAST), and PanRadio GRB (Long-GRBs Follow-up program with ATCA).
