I am a third year DPhil student in the theoretical astrophysics group supervised by Ralph Schoenrich.
I am probing the kinematic state of the dark-matter halo from the dynamical friction it exerts on the Galactic bar. I have so far constrained the bar's slowing rate by modeling the phase-space structures of the Solar neighbourhood stars.
I earned my bachelor's and master's degree at Tokyo Institute of Technology and started my DPhil research here in 2018 October.
