Data Analysis and Instrumentation

We develop state-of-the-art data reduction and analysis pipelines and contribute to new instrumentation for major observatories, enabling new astronomical discoveries. Our work includes building HPC platforms, developing next-generation photometric and spectroscopic pipelines, and designing instrument concepts for ground- and space-based facilities.

The Nature of 'Little Red Dots': New Analysis Pipelines for JWST

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a population of enigmatic compact red sources at high redshift, dubbed "Little Red Dots." We are developing specialised photometric and spectroscopic extraction pipelines to characterise these objects and understand whether they are dust-obscured active galactic nuclei, compact starbursts, or an entirely new class of sources.

HPC Platforms for Next-Generation Survey Processing

Modern wide-field surveys produce petabytes of imaging data that require robust, scalable processing infrastructure. We have designed and deployed HPC cluster environments optimised for parallel photometric pipeline execution, enabling the rapid reduction and analysis of multi-band survey data from CFHT, VISTA, VLT, and HST programmes.
