My current research is geared around the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, which will come on-line in the next two years. I am working on the commissioning of the active optics system, with particular emphasis on the application of new techniques associated with machine learning and reinforcement learning. Scientifically, my main interests lie in constraining the nature of dark energy through weak gravitational lensing and other statistical methods. I am also interested in the use of Rubin to discover ultrafast optical transient sources through novel methods.
