Research Advisor: Justin Vandenbroucke
Year of Admission: 2022
Research Interests: High-Energy Astrophysics, Particle Astrophysics
I did my undergrad at University of Chicago where I worked in instrumentation and commissioning for two ultra-high-energy neutrino detectors: RNO-G (Radio Neutrino Observatory Greenland) & BEACON (Beamforming Elevated Array for COsmic Neutrinos).
I currently work for Professor Vandenbroucke on developing the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) for future work as part of the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO).
