Ehsan Mahdavi

I am an international graduate student in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Florida. I earned my bachelor's degree in Physics from K. N. Toosi University of Technology in Iran. My research currently focuses on improving the group's efficient algorithm for computing N-point correlation functions (NPCFs) of galaxies, which are a powerful statistical tool for studying the large-scale structure of the universe.

The next step in my research is analyzing higher-order correlations beyond the two-point function to extract useful cosmological information about the distribution of galaxies. In particular, one larger goal of developing these functions is to probe whether the universe is symmetric under parity transformation ("mirroring", more or less), which could have interesting implications for our understanding of fundamental physics.
