About Me!

About Me

Hello, I am Henry. I recently completed my PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Toronto and am a Doctoral Fellow at the Data Science Institute. My research boardly focused on applying deep learning methodologies including Transformers and Denoising Diffusions to large-scale astronomical datasets. A significant part of my work involved developing and using Foundation Models for scientific applications, particularly in the analysis of large-scale astronomical data in the future.

I’m also passionate about open-source software development. On GitHub, I maintain several widely-used projects designed to make training neural net models for certain applications in astronomy easy. All of my research are open-source and also available online. You can check it out at My Codes as well as my Github profile.

In my free time, I enjoy astrophotography, where I combine my technical expertise with my love for the night sky.
