My Goals
- My aspiration in astronomy is to make a ground-breaking discovery, which is largely a gift from God to pierce into the mystery of Universe and does not depend on anything else, but I can take reasonable steps to be ready.
- I hope to contribute meaningfully to the community.
- Financially, my goal is to have 2000$/month (estimate).
-
I aim to be there for my family and not let the career steal from family time (aka work/life balance).
Research Interests
- Evolution of galaxies
- Environments around AGN-host galaxies
- SMBH-host galaxy correlations at different redshifts
