I grew up in Metuchen, New Jersey, and went to Cornell for my undergrad, where I got a BA in Physics and Math, with a concentration in Astrophysics. During my time at Cornell, I worked on exoplanet research with Dr. Ryan MacDonald in Prof. Nikole Lewis's group.

I am a first-year PhD student in EPS, in Kevin Lewis's research group. I am also a full-time employee at the JHU Applied Physics Lab. I am involved in a wide variety of research topics, but they all have the common theme of being modeling and simulation oriented. I enjoy developing code to solve hard math and physics questions.

In the past, I helped develop an open-source python package to compute atomic and molecular cross sections from line lists, an important step in determining the atmospheric composition of exoplanets. Currently, I am focused on developing a higher-fidelity model of radar scattering from planetary surfaces. In particular, I am interested in modeling the polarization of the returned radar signal, which can reveal important characteristics about the surface, such as the presence of water ice.

Feel free to reach out with questions, or if you're interested in working on a project together!
