Hi there! I am a Postdoctoral Research fellow at the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) in Torino, Italy. Here I am a part of the GaiaUnlimited project working with Ronald Drimmel. I am interested in mapping the Milky Way's structure, and studying the 3D motion of stars in the Galaxy. For this we use a wide variety of stellar tracers (e.g., Red Clump giants/Cepheids), and large Spectroscopic, Photometric & Astrometric datasets. You can find my CV here, and a summary of my recent works can be found here.
Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Amina Helmi, at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute in Groningen, The Netherlands. In 2019, I joined the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC), of which I am still a member. I was involved in the Statistical Validation of the 3rd data release of the Gaia survey (EDR3 & GDR3). In addition to this, I was also a core member of the Scientific demonstration papers exploring the kinematics of the Galactic disc.
I completed my PhD at the University of Sydney's Astronomy Institute (2016-2019), under the supervision of Joss Bland-Hawthorn & Sanjib Sharma. I was a member of the the GALAH spectroscopic survey, using highly precise radial velocities, and chemistry to probe the response of the Galactic disc to non-equilibrium features.
