Biography

I am a Ph.D. student at Macquarie University. My research focuses on understanding the evolution of galaxies in the early universe and shedding light on the epoch of cosmic reionisation. I have been using integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data from the VLT/MUSE under the MAGPI survey to search for background Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) at high-redshift (z =2.9−6.4). With this sample, I aim to perform Luminosity Function analysis across the wide redshift range, rare double-peak emission analysis, gravitational lens modelling, Lyman alpha escape fraction at the epoch of reionisation, and Helium detection searches.
