Biography

My background includes astronomical studies using radio telescopes, data mining for interesting astronomical phenomena, and scientific programming using python and high-performance computers. I'm interested in using radio telescopes to identify the population of radio-bright stars to study their magnetic processes. I am also interested in calibration and imaging techniques used for radio astronomical studies. I have more than several years of experience designing and carrying out astronomical experiments using radio interferometers worldwide. My main strengths are strong perseverance when facing challenging problems and great attention to detail to ensure high-quality outcomes. Further, I have a great deal of experience communicating complex ideas to non-experts, either through outreach or in the classroom. These experiences have helped me become very proficient at explaining and delivering solutions to various challenges.
