I am a postdoc in the Observational Cosmology (ObsCos) group at Caltech. My research is focused on understanding the history of galaxy formation through cosmic time, and how it relates to large-scale structure. My work primarily involves measuring correlations in the cosmic far-infrared background in data spanning the near-infrared to the millimeter and radio.
My thesis project, supervised by Barth Netterfield, was BLAST, a balloon born telescope which I played a large part in designing, building, flying, and pipelining raw data into timestreams and maps.
I am currently a core-team member of Herschel/HeRMES and Planck/HFI, and am also actively working with the ACT and SPT teams.
