about me

I’m a physics PhD candidate at the University of Arizona working on constraining cosmology with galaxy clusters under Eduardo Rozo. My research interests are in computational astrophysics, physical cosmology, particle physics related to dark matter, and data science.

I earned my B.S. in Astrophysics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where I researched cosmic-ray diffusion and gamma-ray emission in Andromeda (M31) under Stefano Profumo.

If you’d like to find out more about me and my work, check out the info on my research, CV, and teaching pages. Also feel free to contact me via my email.

outside of academia..

When I’m not working on research, I’m most likely spending my time exploring Tucson, playing rugby, reading, or playing with my dog, Nova.
