A brief introduction.

Hello, there!

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Sthabile (Thabs), an astronomer and lecturer at the Physics department of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa.

For my research work in Astrophysics, I make use of both observations and modelling to study galaxies at high-redshift. My research involves:

• Investigations of the role of galaxy group environment and radio AGN jet-power
• Kinematic studies of the circumgalactic medium
• Star-formation and stellar masses of radio-selected galaxies at z > 2
• Lyman-alpha radiative transfer modelling of diffuse ionised gas haloes

A comprehensive list of my current work is available on ORCID.

Aside from Astrophysics, I have spent some time working on a few exploratory data science and machine-learning projects all of which are made public via Kaggle.

You can find me on Twitter as well where I stay a few things from time to time. I try to make time to write articles on Medium where the topics of discussion are generally coding and astronomy.

Find me LinkedIn if you'd like to establish a professional connection with me.

Otherwise...

Happy coding!
