My current research in the Avestruz Lab for Computational Cosmology and Astrophysics (ALCCA) is to compare simulation-based inference (SBI) approaches to MCMC inference in the context of galaxy cluster mass estimates from gravitational weak lensing data. The package, CLSBIWeakLens, provides a modular framework to flexibly run numerical experiments on cluster mass estimation from radial profiles, a typical data vector in optical cluster cosmology from surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Our paper is currently in draft. [Update April 2025: I was accorded an Honorable Mention for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program for this work]
