Research Interests

I am a PhD student in the CosmoStat lab working in the field of observational cosmology under the supervision of Martin Kilbinger and Valeria Pettorino. 

In my work I address the challenges facing cosmic shear in the coming decade as we enter the high precision era in cosmology. 

I am particularly interested in constraining intrinsic alignment and the precise calibration of shape measurements. 

I explore the possible ways in which spectroscopic data can be combined with shape measurements to mitigate systematic effects and improve cosmological measurements.  

My main motivation is to investigate the mysteries that surround dark matter and dark energy, and to explore any path which allows to grasp their fundamental properties. 

I am a member of the UNIONS and Euclid collaborations.
