      Hello! I work with distant galaxies trying to understand their shape and features (we call this it’s morphology). I study how the morphology of a galaxy changes over time and how many different types of galaxies we can see. Because there are lots of galaxies in the Universe there are too many to investigate eye by eye so I train machines to help separate the galaxies into different groups based on their morphology.
      I would say that galaxy morphology, and machine learning would be my specialities 🙂
