I'm currently a NASA Hubble Fellow in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Utah. In Fall 2025, I'll be moving to Villanova University as an Assistant Professor.
My research interests include near-field cosmology, galaxy dynamics, and dark matter. In my work, I use the combined power of observational data sets with data from high-resolution simulations of the Universe to uncover how galaxies grow, evolve, and interact with each other over cosmic time.
