About me: I am an astrophysicist with a dedicated focus on extragalactic astronomy, particularly specializing in a specific category of objects known as "galaxy clusters." Through a combination of multi-wavelength observations, encompassing optical, infrared, millimeter, and X-ray data, I investigate the intricacies of galaxy cluster formation and evolution. My research integrates data from an array of ground-based and space-based telescopes, allowing me the opportunity to characterize the dynamical state, thermodynamic structure, and cosmological significance of these remarkable objects.
