I’m an astrophysicist who builds models of particle acceleration. I use these models to connect theory with observations of extreme phenomena such as supernova remnants and winds launched by active galactic nuclei. I’m currently a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and at Columbia University in New York City. Before that, I earned my PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the University of Chicago.
My research interests include:
Cosmic Rays
Acceleration and propagation
Astrophysical Shocks
Supernova remnants, novae, black hole winds, and more
Multi-messenger Emission
Photons from radio to gamma-rays, charged particles, and neutrinos
Astroparticle Instrumentation
Balloon-borne and space-based detectors
Mentors
Lorenzo Sironi, Brian Metzger
