Mentorship is one of the most rewarding parts of my work as a researcher. I genuinely enjoy guiding students and early-career scientists through the discovery process—helping them develop their ideas, build confidence, and gain the skills they need to thrive in research. Investing time in others’ development strengthens the science we do together and builds the collaborative, supportive culture in which I believe research should be rooted.

Exiting news! My VLA Large Program got accepted
Our Very Large Array (VLA) Large Program of ~55o hours that I am the PI of got accepted (PI: Eibensteiner, co-PI: Koch, Chown, Chiang). We will use the B, C and D configurations to get exquisite maps at ~8″ angular resolution (300-800 pc) of neutral atomic gas of the most studied nearby spiral galaxies –Continue…

Public outreach talk for Charlottesville Astronomical Society (CAS)
Two weeks ago, I gave a public talk for the Charlottesville Astronomical Society (CAS) at the Leander McCormick Observatory. I really enjoyed it, and if you want to see some pretty pictures (& more) of nearby galaxies, go check out the recording on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K8xgpVfXJc
