About me

Welcome!

I’m currently a Brinson Prize Fellow at Stanford’s Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC). I completed my Physics PhD in May 2025 at Duke University, advised by Prof. Dan Scolnic. Prior to that, I did my undergraduate degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago.

I am broadly interested in improving our understanding of dark energy and the expansion history of the universe, particularly using Type Ia supernovae as precise distance indicators. I work on developing methods for photometric cosmological analyses with data from large sky surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES), and incoming from the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and the Roman Space Telescope. To do so effectively, I’m interested in reducing and quantifying key systematic uncertainties, making use of complementary survey data (i.e. Rubin-Roman), and bridging overlaps in techniques and expertise developed from other cosmological probes that have already long been reliant on photometry for redshifts, such as weak lensing and large scale structure.
