I am a postdoc at the Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics in Heidelberg. I study the diffuse gas surrounding galaxies, the so-called circumgalactic medium, and their embedding large-scale structure, the cosmic web more than 10 billion years ago. I work with Dylan Nelson, running and analyzing cosmological galaxy formation simulations to understand the complex interplay of galaxies with their surroundings. I am particularly interested in linking upcoming observations of the Lyman-$\alpha$ from the faint, diffuse cosmic web to test our understanding of galaxy evolution and structure formation. Before moving to Heidelberg in 2021, I obtained my PhD in Physical Cosmology at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Eiichiro Komatsu’s group.
