Multiple photometric and spectroscopic galaxy surveys, including DESI,&nbsp; Euclid, Roman, and Rubin LSST, will be gathering data simultaneously. These datasets will be&nbsp; pivotal in addressing long-standing questions about the Cosmos, including the nature of gravity,&nbsp; dark energy, inflation, neutrinos, and the growth of large-scale structure. My research aims at&nbsp; addressing these questions by leveraging state-of-the-art statistical techniques to extract&nbsp; information from galaxy surveys. My work combines theory and observations, developing&nbsp; accurate theory models based on cosmological simulations and artificial intelligence, and applying&nbsp; them to large observational programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Co-chair of the Galaxy &amp; Quasar Clustering working group in the DESI Collaboration <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Member of the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Member of the Euclid Consortium&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ui.adsabs.harvard.edu\/public-libraries\/ISMZViBlThu0ASMmdRxUzw\"><strong>NASA ADS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extracurricular activities<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy reading, especially about topics in philosophy, psychology, and poetry in general.
