Asst. Prof. of Statistical Astronomy at @Princeton, @PU_Astro & @PrincetonSML. I weigh cosmic structures, value every pixel, express my own views.
Joined January 2012
I'm hiring postdocs this year! If you want to push what we really know about galaxies across cosmic time, reach out and consider applying. We have a curious and supportive group in an amazing department.

Very happy to see that joint data analysis between Rubin and Roman is explicitly called for.
In this year’s appropriations process, the Senate provides $407.3M for @NASARoman in 2024, which for context is how much we have been planning on.
