About Me

I am a postdoctoral associate at Duke University; I received my B.A. in physics from the University of Chicago in 2020 and my Ph.D. in physics from Stanford University in 2025 (thesis).

Research

I use weak lensing and cosmic shear to study the large-scale properties of the Universe; my personal research focuses on using image simulations to improve understanding of observational sources of systematic uncertainties and to calibrate shape measurements. I conduct this research as a member of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) collaboration, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time Dark Energy Science Collaboration (LSST DESC), and the Nancy Grace Roman Cosmology with High Latitude Imaging Survey Project Infrastructure Team (Roman HLIS PIT).
