  • Publications

I am a forth year D.Phil. 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.
