Supermassive black hole accretion disk with relativistic jet

How supermassive black holes shape galaxy evolution across cosmic time

I study black hole accretion and AGN feedback using multiwavelength observations to understand how energy released by active galactic nuclei shapes their host galaxies.

ABOUT MY RESEARCH

Astrophysicist studying black hole accretion, AGN feedback, and galaxy evolution

I am a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow at Goddard Space Flight Center. My research uses multiwavelength observations to study how energy released by active galactic nuclei interacts with and shapes their host galaxies.

I combine observations from Chandra, HST, JWST, MUSE, ALMA, and other facilities to study black hole accretion, outflows, and their impact across spatial scales.

Multiwavelength Observations

From X-rays to radio, probing gas from parsec to kiloparsec scales.

Black Hole Growth

Black hole accretion and the co-evolution of black holes and their host galaxies.

AGN Feedback

How AGN-driven outflows regulate galaxy evolution.

Collaborations

International collaborations across observatories and research teams.
