Research

I am an observational cosmologist interested in the formation of cosmic structures in the early Universe. My research focuses on the search for and characterization of quasars - growing supermassive black holes - within the first two billion years after the Big Bang. I identify these objects in wide-area sky surveys using machine learning techniques and characterize them with ground-based and space-borne telescopes.
