As an ESA/AURA astronomer, I devote half of my time in supporting the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb). I am currently the Lead of Webb Science and Operations Calibration Planning Team. I also serve JWST in other roles, such as Panel Manager in the Science Policy Division and an instrument scientist.
JWST was launched on Dec 25, 2021. Please find the latest news here. I was fortunate to be a member of the ESA Science & Operations Team responsible for commissioning JWST. I served in various roles such as test lead, quick look analyst during commissioning and various preparatory works before commissioning.

As an STScI Prize Fellow, I supported COS instrument aboard Hubble Space Telescope from Oct 2019-Oct 2020. During that time, I worked on the blue modes of COS, which was required for the Director's Discretionary Program ULLYSES. My main contribution was improving the wavelength calibration of the blue modes: the link to the relevant Instrument Science Report is here. Besides, I worked as a contact scienctist for COS.
