Academic Bio


I’m a Ph.D candidate in astronomy at Harvard. Prior to that, I studied mathematics and physics at McGill University, in Montréal, Canada. I began my astrophysics career there, in Vicky Kaspi’s pulsar group. My current research focus is the intergalactic medium, which I view as the interface between cosmology and galaxy formation. My advisors at Harvard are Professors Lars Hernquist and Matias Zaldarriaga.
