I am an assistant research professor at the Department of Physics, Duke University. I am a member of the Data Management team of the Rubin Observatory project and I am in-charge of the software pipeline measuring the signal of weak gravitational lensing from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST).

My research field is Cosmology, the study of origin and evolution of the Universe. I am interested in answering the questions about the distribution of (dark) matter in the Universe, also known as the large-scale structure and using it to understand the contents (dark matter and dark energy) of the Universe. I study the matter distribution using a technique called Weak Gravitational Lensing. On a day-to-day basis, I work on image processing pipelines and algorithms that work at raw pixel-level data to extract useful information from millions (soon to be billions) of galaxies namely galaxy fluxes (and colors) and shapes.
