Research Interests: Neutrino & dark matter theory and phenomenology
I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in physics, interested in the fundamental nature of neutrinos and dark matter and how they relate to the hardest questions posed to us by the universe. I received a B.S. in Astrophysics from Yale University in 2020 and have done research on neutrinoless double-beta decay at the University of North Carolina and protostellar evolution at the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard.
While not studying physics, I enjoy being in nature, playing chess, and cooking.
