Excited that my new paper with J. Nibauer is out this week : arxiv.org/pdf/2508.02666

We use stellar streams to map the full radial density profile of dark matter halos. With deep imaging from Euclid, Roman, ARRAKIHS, and Rubin, streams will be powerful probes of dark matter physics.

Thanks so much to the +500 guests who showed up for my live outreach show at the Bremen Theatre in Copenhagen last night! I couldn’t have asked for a better evening and I’m still buzzing from this experience ✨⭐️

Excited to share PhD student, Sioree Ansar's, paper investigating the properties of galactic bars in the FIRE-2 simulations. Ansar finds that 8/13 FIRE-2 galaxies form bars. She is on the postdoc job market this year, so look out for her application!
