Introduction
I am a PhD student in the Tartu Observatory in Estonia, working on galactic kinematics and galaxy evolution and formation under the supervision of Rain Kipper. The aim to unravel the some of the mystery of dark matter by investigating how much does the dynamical friction affect different environments.
In my master, I had been an intern in Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille where I worked on tracing the very faint universe under A.Longobardi.

Context. Accurate photometric redshift (photo-z) estimation is crucial for cosmological and galaxy evolution studies, especially with the advent of large-scale photometric surveys. Aims. We develop a photo-z estimation code called TOPz (Tartu Observatory Photo-z) and apply it to the GAMA photometric catalogue. Methods. TOPz employs a Bayesian templ...
The gas distribution in galaxies is smooth on large scales, but is usually time-dependent and inhomogeneous on smaller scales. The time-dependence originates from processes such as cloud formation, their collisions, and supernovae (SNe) explosions, which also create inhomogeneities. The inhomogeneities in the matter distribution give rise to variat...
Context. Dynamical friction can be a valuable tool for inferring dark matter properties that are difficult to constrain by other methods. Most applications of dynamical friction calculations are concerned with the long-term angular momentum loss and orbital decay of the perturber within its host. This, however, assumes knowledge of the unknown init...
