Research

I have a considerable interest in the fields of particle and nuclear physics, and their applications to cosmology and stellar astrophysics. My undergraduate thesis work was on the topic of the evolution with redshift of Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs). I am quite interested in the interplay of observations with theory, and the resulting constraints on physical conditions which lead to constraining evolution in GRBs.

I began my graduate work in Fall 2005, as a member of the extragalactic research group. I worked on problems of cosmology and galactic dynamics with Dr. Anatoly Klypin, making use of numerical simulations to better understand astrophysical processes. I also modeled the stellar dynamics of barred galaxes.

Future Work

I decided to change fields in 2007, and began to study applied mathematics and statistics.
