My research fields include quasar surveys, statistical and machine learning methods in astronomy. My PhD thesis project was “Searching for Quasars behind the Galactic Plane”, aiming to select quasar candidates at |b| <= 20 deg with Machine Learning, and identify the candidates with optical telescopes. Currently, I am working in the OU-NIR and the Galaxy and AGN Evolution Science Working Group of the Euclid mission, focusing on NIR pipeline development and the quasar/AGN science in the Euclid survey.
- A survey of quasars behind the Galactic plane: I have been working on the selection of quasar candidates at |b| <= 20 deg with Machine Learning, and the identification of the candidates with optical telescopes. The project has resulted in the discovery of a large number of new quasars behind the Galactic plane, which are important for the assessment of the systematic errors of astrometry of the Gaia mission.
