About Me
I study how dark matter shapes the universe. My work sits at the meeting point of theory, large scale simulations, and weak lensing. I build simple and reliable tools that learn as much as possible from the data before asking for heavy computation.
I focus on higher order statistics and wavelet methods. These ideas let me do parameter inference in a way that is light on simulations and heavy on understanding. Lately I have been developing a theory driven path for likelihood free inference so that results stay transparent and robust while storage and compute stay reasonable.
I am part of the Euclid collaboration, where I care about turning careful theory into useful practice. At CosmoStat I co organize the Journal Club and enjoy meeting people who bring new ideas and even better questions.
When I am not thinking about statistics and lensing, I am usually out with my camera, reading, or planning the next trip. I love to travel, learn from new cultures, and when I can, wander through old ruins and museums. If you are curious, head to my blog to read a few of these experiences I have penned down.
I enjoy learning by doing. I pick up new tools, run small experiments with real data, and build little projects for everyday use. It keeps me curious and close to what works.
What I am working on
- Theory for the wavelet ℓ₁ norm and its use in inference.
- Generating synthetic map using optimisation scheme with the correct HOS, that is both fast and accurate and robust.
- Validation on synthetic maps and preparation for real data.
