I'm a Buckeye Prize Fellow and Ohio State President's Postdoctoral Scholar at the Ohio State University. I graduated with an Astronomy Ph.D. from Columbia University in Aug 2023. My dissertation title is: Rewinding the Milky Way in Time. I spend half of my time on obtaining stellar ages from large stars surveys (e.g. Kepler, TESS, APOGEE, LAMOST etc.) with a focus on gyrochronology calibration and the other half on Galactic Archaeology.
Stellar ages:
My work focuses on obtaining stellar ages through gyrochronology and spectroscopy. In particular, I have dedicated a lot of my time calibrating gyrochronology relations for low-mass old stars.Stellar age catalogs I created that are publicly accessible:
- Gyrochronology relation to obtain dwarf star ages from 0.67 - 14 Gyr for partially and fully convective stars
- Gyro-Kinematic ages (29,949 Kepler ages; available here): We combined kinematic properties (verticle velocity), temperature, magnitude from Gaia, and rotation periods from Kepler to estimate gyro-kinematic ages.
- Spectroscopic ages and red clump membership (64,317 APOGEE ages: available here): We used The Cannon) to obtain stellar ages and red clump membership from APOGEE spectra. These stellar ages are then used to study the properties of the high- and low-α disks.
