My research:

I’m a cosmology student, currently using the DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) Year 1 data to measure primordial non-gaussianity with the large scale structure.

My expertise is:

I have the most experience developing data analysis pipelines in Python.

A problem I’m grappling with:

I’m working to mitigate systematic uncertainties to further constrain the measurements of our parameters of interest.

I’ve got my eyes on:

Machine learning approaches in cosmology and astrophysics.

I want to know more about:

Generally increasing my code efficiency. Specifically, I’d like to learn more about parallelization and how to optimize code for large data sets.
