I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow jointly appointed by the University of Toronto and Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My primary job is to lead a time-domain astronomy research alliance between the two research institutes. I am also a co-lead of the PanRadio GRBs collaboration, a member of the ASKAP survey for Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) collaboration, and the VLBA Large Transients collaboration.

My research focuses on multi-wavelength, observational studies of explosive transients, in particular gamma-ray bursts and core-collapse supernovae. Through these studies, we try to understand the physical mechanisms driving these cosmic explosions and the environments in which they explode in, ultimately obtaining a better understanding of the many ways a star can die.

As a radio astronomer by training, I have extensive experience with most radio interferometers across the world, including expertise in time-variable wide-field surveys, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), and neutral hydrogen (HI) spectral line studies. I also lead programs searching for extreme transients in time-variable wide-field radio surveys and exploring the potential of using astrophysical transients as cosmological probes.

If you're a prospective student interested in these research areas, please shoot me an email, I would love to chat!
