Hello! I’m an Assistant Professor of Physics at Duke University. I’m building a lab and looking to work with students excited about instrumentation and data analysis for cosmology and astrophysics, so please get in touch if you’re interested.

I work as a part of four collaborations: ACT, CCAT, CMB-S4, and SO. You can learn about each of these efforts by clicking on their name. My research interests include cryogenic instrumentation, superconducting detectors, and cross-correlation analyses with optical surveys to learn about the properties of galaxy clusters and the fundamental physics of our universe.

Previously, I was an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellow in the Physics Department at Cornell University. For more details, please see my CV.

I am passionate about communicating science to a diverse public audience. I’m the author of the “Meet the Universe” series of books for children from MIT Kids Press.

Earth is my favorite planet. When I’m not in the lab or at my desk, you can find me galavanting around on foot or on two wheels, and ticking off miles on trails like the Finger Lakes Trail (Main Branch End-to-Ender #556!).
