Research Interest

I study neutrinos and search for physics beyond the Standard Model using liquid argon time projection chambers and particle accelerators, including MicroBooNE, SBND, and DUNE. In particular, I am studying single photon and electron-positron pair topologies in these detectors, which could be connected to existing experimental anomalies as well as exotic dark sector particles.

I'm from San Diego, California, I got my undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley while doing some R&D on optical properties relevant for liquid xenon dark matter detectors, and I got my PhD at Yale and the University of Chicago primarily studying very rare neutrino-induced neutral current Delta radiative decay single photon events in MicroBooNE.
