Biographical Sketch

I received my Ph.D. in 2025 from the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Akito Kusaka. As a graduate student, I developed optical elements, particularly anti-reflection coatings, for ground-based cosmic microwave background experiments: the Simons Array and the Simons Observatory. During my Ph.D., I worked on deployment, observation strategy, data transfer, calibration, and data analysis for millimeter-wave circular polarization searches of astronomical sources with the Simons Array experiment.

Research:

I work on 21 cm cosmology in Laura Newburgh’s group. I am a member of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME). My focus is on analyzing the visibility data while understanding the instruments for CHIME.

Science goal: Measure the expansion history of the Universe and discover insights about dark energy. 

WL involvement: The Newburgh group uses a technique called holography to map the beam shape of CHIME to be able to identify and remove emission from unintended sources.
