Hello! I am a KICP Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago where I explore how the largest structures in our Universe came to be. Before that, I earned my PhD in physics at the Trottier Space Institute (TSI) at McGill University where I worked with Prof. Adrian Liu. My thesis focused on developing cross-correlation techniques which combine various datasets into unified observables, enabling precision cosmology from data that are typically heavily contaminated. This work was recognized with the D.W. Ambridge Prize for the top doctoral thesis in physical sciences and engineering.
As a data-driven theorist, I work to bridge the gap between theory and observation. My research focuses on developing and applying new statistical tools to probe the early epochs of our universe, namely the epoch of reionization, cosmic dawn, and the cosmic dark ages. I work with various probes of the early universe (e.g. the cosmic microwave background, line intensity maps, lensing by large scale structure, fast radio bursts) which each provide unique insight and understanding into the evolution of both the matter density field and the intergalactic medium. You can learn more about my work on my research page!
I previously served as the Outreach Coordinator for the Trottier Space Institute, leading public engagement initiatives ranging from large-scale community events to classroom visits. Science communication and teaching remain integral to my academic life, and I’m passionate about sharing the wonder of cosmology with a diversity of audiences.
