I am an Assistant Professor of Physics at Pomona College. Prior to this position, I was a Dark Universe Science Center (DUSC)-Simons postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington, Seattle and a Flatiron Research Fellow (FRF) at the Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA). In addition, I obtained my PhD working in Marc Kamionkowski's group at Johns Hopkins University, and attended MIT as an undergraduate. My research leverages the use of observationally-informed cosmology, with forays into astrophysics and astronomy, in order to uncover insights about the Universe across all scales. Currently, I am developing theoretical and statistical frameworks to probe fundamental questions related to inflation, the dark sector, and baryogenesis, alongside other phenomena beyond the standard model of physics.

Outside of physics, I enjoy listening to music and lifting weights. In general, I am always open to talking about composition, sound design, xenharmonics, or optimizing strength and hypertrophy. If interested in seeing what I listen to, you can browse my last.fm.
