<h1> Jamila Taaki </h1>
<h2> Hello, </h2>
<p> I'm a Schmidt postdoctoral fellow at the Michigan Institute for Data & AI in Society (University of Michigan) where I'm mentored by <a href="https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/liacorrales/">Professor Lia Corrales (Astronomy) </a>
and <a href="https://hero.engin.umich.edu/">Professor Alfred Hero (EECS)</a>. I completed my PhD in <a href="https://ece.illinois.edu/">Electrical and Computer Engineering</a> at the <a href="https://illinois.edu/">University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign</a>
advised by <a href="https://ece.illinois.edu/about/directory/faculty/farzadk">Professor Farzad Kamalabadi</a> (ECE) and <a href="https://astro.illinois.edu/directory/profile/akemball">Professor Athol Kemball</a> (Astronomy).</p>
Before joining Illinois, I completed an M.sc. in Astrophysics at <a href="https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/">Royal Holloway University of London</a>.
<p>
My research interests are focused on statistical inference and computational methods for transit photometry and direct-imaging.

<h2> Projects/Software</h2>
<p>
<a href="https://github.com/xiaziyna/PyStarshade" target="_blank">PyStarshade</a> : a Python library for optical simulation of direct exoplanet imaging with an occulter (starshade),
from star-planet source field to CCD. PyStarshade affords high-resolution simulation for arbitrary source fields based on efficient spectral sampling methods. </p>
<p> We were awarded a <a href="bw_proposal.pdf">250k Bluewaters allocation</a> for it's final year of operations.
The allocation was used to perform a search for exoplanets in years 1-3 of TESS short cadence data.
This search has produced a number of exoplanet candidated listed on the <a href="https://exofop.ipac.caltech.edu/tess/view_ctoi.php">EXOFOP database</a>.</p>
<p> Enjoy <a href="https://twitter.com/exoplanet_day"> an exoplanet </a> a day: twitter bot in collab. with <a href="https://evan.widloski.com"> Evan Widloski</a>.</p>
<p> Bayesian transit detection requires full-rank covariance models, see how to efficiently compute transit detection tests with <a href="https://github.com/xiaziyna/CUDA-transit-detection"> CUDA demo here </a>. </p>

<h2> Past Research Work </h2>
<p><i> Open University Mars Climate Lab, supervised by <a href="http://www.open.ac.uk/people/srl89">Professor Stephen Lewis</a>. Internship and temporary researcher (2015):</i>
I produced simulated entry landing and descent profiles of vehicles landing on the Mars surface under a variety of climate conditions. I also looked at seasonal ice-cap variation using Martian climate simulations.</p>
