Research theme
I develop reproducible spatially resolved X-ray spectroscopy workflows for calibration, extraction, and spectral modeling that support, but do not by themselves validate, physical inferences about faint extended gas, ionization, and energetics.
Scientific questions
How can calibrated, spatially resolved spectroscopy separate faint extended emission from bright nuclear emission before testing whether photoionization or outflow models describe it?
Which analysis strategies developed for obscured AGN can be extended to Type 1 sources, where direct nuclear emission is much more prominent?
How can instrumental response, multi-visit reduction, spectral modeling, and validation be documented reproducibly while keeping successful software execution distinct from scientific acceptance?
