Research Interests

I am a second year PhD student currently working on classifying transients with machine learning. My general research interests lie in statistical methods and detectability in observational astronomy.

I recently graduated from Northeastern University with a B.S in Physics and Philosophy. My previous work in astronomy includes modeling oblate exoplanet transits, imaging simulated observations of black holes with the next-generation Event Horizon Telescope project, as well as testing a statistical inference emission model for protoplanetary disks.

Outside of research, I am passionate about all things music performance and composition, home cooking, and photography.

Feel free to reach out if we have any overlapping interests!
