About Me


I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Astrostatistics Group at Imperial College, London working on building a pipeline to identify high-z quasars in the Euclid Survey.

I was a PhD Candidate at the Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA, Heidelberg) and Macquarie University (MQU, Australia). My research involved the use of statistical and machine learning methods in Astronomy, primarily focussing on the Milky Way.

Prior to academia, I was Chief Data Scientist / Head of Research at Superestate, where we built a property valuation tool called Vali. Check it out at Vali. I have also worked as a Senior Quantitative Analyst for the property analytics and data company Hometrack. There I was responsible for designing and maintaining statistical models on the property market.
