I am a Project Scientist in the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering (CCSE) in the Computing Sciences Area at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I am a theoretical/computational physicist in high energy, cosmology, and condensed matter.

I am currently working on numerical relativity and interfacing the Einstein Toolkit with AMReX.

Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto, where I spent the majority of my time working on theoretical and computational developments for superfluids, superconductors, and Yang-Mills theories. In particular, it was my goal to numerically solve and interpret the equations of motion related to the semi-classical and effective field theories relating to these models.

Prior to my postdoctoral work I was a graduate researcher in the physics department at the University of Minnesota, where I worked on theoretical developments in high energy and condensed matter physics. Specifically, I worked on supersymmetry in Yang-Mills theories, as well as the effective field theory description of superfluid Helium-3 and its relation to color superconductivity in dense quark matter. Publications for these projects are listed below.
