President’s Postdoctoral Scholar and CCAPP Fellow at The Ohio State University
My research focuses on the high-redshift (z > 5) intergalactic medium. I combine quasar observations with cosmological simulations to study cosmic reionization. Since moving to Ohio State in 2024, I have joined the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration, contributing to the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) measurement and analysis from Data Release 2.

In 2024, I completed my PhD in Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I was advised by Prof. Joseph Hennawi. My dissertation was titled Constraining Reionization with the High-z Lyman-α Forest. Prior to graduate school, I earned a BA in Physics with honors and a BS in Mathematics from the University of Chicago in 2018. During my undergraduate studies, I conducted research in both soft matter experimental physics and high energy experimental physics.
Engaging with the public is an important part of my work. I am passionate about communicating ideas from astrophysics and cosmology to a wide range of audiences, including public lecture series and educational programs for students.
