Welcome!

I am an astroparticle theorist, and an Edwin Thompson Jaynes postdoctoral fellow at Washington University in St. Louis.

​

My research focuses on one of the most intriguing mysteries in particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology: the identity of dark matter. My work on this topic has spanned a broad range of astroparticle physics, from modeling cosmic ray interactions with dark matter, to analyzing X-ray observations of the Galactic Center, to working directly with dark matter and neutrino experimentalists to perform novel searches. Most of my research falls under the category of phenomenology: determining the observable signatures of new particle physics models and using data to search for these signals.

I obtained my Ph.D. in 2021 from Ohio State, under the supervision of Professor John Beacom. I was then a postdoctoral fellow at Queen's University in Canada for three years, before moving to Washington University in 2024.
