My research focuses on galaxy evolution, with a specific emphasis on the role of atomic hydrogen (HI). I am interested in the cosmic abundance of HI, the role of HI in regulating star formation and quenching, and the impact of feedback and environmental processes on HI properties. To address these questions, I use data from large HI and optical surveys (e.g., ALFALFA, xGASS, SDSS, DESI), as well as cosmological simulations (e.g., IllustrisTNG, EAGLE). Furthermore, I am actively conducting new cold gas observations using facilities such as FAST, VLA, and APEX.
