Overview
I am a graduate student studying cosmology in the Theoretical Astrophysics Including Relativity (TAPIR) group at Caltech. My advisor is Prof. Marc Kamionkowski. I also collaborate with Prof. Christopher M. Hirata, Prof. Robert Caldwell, Andrew Benson, Tristan Smith, Giovanni Covone, Prof. Jean-Paul Kneib, Eric Jullo, Prof. Andrew Blain, and Prof. Michael Strauss. My current research focuses on cosmological hydrogen recombination and its effect on cosmic microwave background (CMB) observables. Other active areas of work include axions, modified cosmological thermal histories, dark matter halo structure, constraints to novel theories of gravity, and Lyman limit systems. A detailed description of my research may be found here. I plan to finish my Ph.D. in June 2010. For my first four years of graduate school, I was supported by a Moore fellowship. This year I was chosen as a Dan David scholarship recipient. Prior to Caltech, I did my A.B. in physics at Princeton University, followed by a M. Stud. in Philosophy at Oxford University. I have also worked as a technical consultant for Imperial Woodpecker productions on an Intel advertisement.  |
