Welcome! I am an assistant professor in the Department of Physics at Arizona State University, where I work on cosmology: the study of the evolution and contents of the universe as a whole. My research encompasses theory, simulations, and data analysis, with the common theme of developing methods for learning more about the universe.

My recent activities primarily focus on 21cm intensity mapping, a way to probe the cosmic distribution of matter by measuring radiation from distant clouds of atomic hydrogen. The goal of these measurements is to using the statistics of the cosmic "large-scale structure" to learn about the fundamental laws of nature and our universe. I am a member of the CHIME collaboration, which is currently analyzing data from radio telescope that was custom-built for this technique, and the CHORD collaboration, which is building a successor telescope to CHIME. I was also involved in the PUMA group when it was active, developing a concept for a next-generation telescope that would use 21cm intensity mapping to obtain transformative cosmological constraints.

Beyond this, I have broad interests in cosmology, and have worked on 21cm absorption systems, perturbation theory for large-scale structure, baryonic effects on large-scale clustering, non-21cm line intensity mapping, and several other topics.

I will consider supervising ASU undergraduate students for research credit or senior theses on topics relevant to 21cm intensity mapping, cosmological large-scale structure, and 21cm absorption systems. If you are a current ASU undergraduate, feel free to contact me if you are interested.
