About me

I am a physics graduate student, some of my current interests include:

Short History

I studied at the University of Nevada, Reno under Dr. Andrei Derevianko and with the GPS.DM Collaboration. As an undergraduate I contributed to a search for dark matter using GPS. I completed my Master’s degree with the same group, where I researched new ways to use GPS for astrophysics applications. Our novel concept involves correlating bursts of exotic fields sourced from high-energy astrophysical events such as the merger of binary black holes. I currently study at the University of Waterloo, with residency at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, where I work with the Strong Gravity group along with my advisors Niayesh Afshordi and Erik Schnetter. My Ph.D. has been focused on developing novel methods in numerical relativity to simulate black holes with reflecting boundaries near their horizons. My work has marked a substantial leap in the understanding of the initial boundary value problem in general relativity.
