My work, in general, involves leveraging cosmological-scale hydrodynamical simulations (e.g. EAGLE and IllustrisTNG) to investigate scientific questions dealing with galaxy formation and halo assembly. At IA, I am investigating the prospects of recovering dark matter properties of galaxy clusters from observational data, particularly the intracluster light. This is in the context of the LSST survey that is poised to provide optical observations of galaxy clusters down to unprecedented sensitivities, enabling high-fidelity mapping of the diffuse intracluster light across the whole halo. Additionally, I am involved in studies that explore various aspects of galaxy evolution and halo assembly, including the signatures of assembly bias in galaxy clustering and radial gradients of galaxy properties. Feel free to get in touch for potential collaborations!
