Connecting Cosmic Gas Flows and Metal Enrichment to Supermassive Black Hole Growth in Galactic Evolution" In this talk, I will discuss the impact of supermassive black hole (SMBH) feedback on the gas phase evolution of Milky Way-mass (MW-mass) galaxies...

" Tracing Dynamical History of TESS Warm Jupiters" Warm Jupiters are a key missing piece in our understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve. It is currently debated whether Warm Jupiters form in situ or undergo disk or high eccentricity tidal...

"Lyman-alpha emission and transmission during the Epoch of Reionization" The visibility of high-redshift Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) provides important constraints on galaxy formation processes and the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). However...

"Highlights from Gravito-Inertial Asteroseismology" High-precision photometric light curves assembled by space telescopes have allowed for the probing of stellar interiors via asteroseismology. Applications to sun-like stars and red giants are meanwhile...

"Star cluster formation and feedback: a close view from the local universe" Abstract: In spite of the huge observational and numerical progresses made, young star clusters remain, de facto, a challenge to study. Potentially they are considered key tracers...

" Bridging the gap between simulations and survey data - domain adaptation for deep learning in astronomy' Astronomical surveys are already producing very large datasets, and machine learning will play a crucial role in enabling us to fully utilize all of...

"Entropy, Black Holes, and the Early Universe" Emerging from a big bang in which gravity is strongly coupled and quantum fluctuations of stress-energy and spacetime are both large, the natural expectation is that the total entropy should be nearly maximal...

"The Impact of Cosmic Rays on Galaxy Formation" Relativistic cosmic-rays created by stellar and black hole feedback may play an important role in many aspects of structure formation. Cosmic-rays can drive outflows from star forming galaxies and heat...

"Microphysical Insights into Protoplanetary Disks and Exoplanet Atmospheres" Abstract: A fundamental understanding of planetary histories and characteristics requires an empirical connection between planet formation and evolved planets—a long-sought goal...
