About Me
I am a research scientist with the Observational Cosmology Group at Caltech/NASA Jet Propulsion Lab and an affiliate of the Keck Institute for Space Studies. I earned my Ph.D. in Physics from Caltech in 2018 under Professor Jamie Bock. My research focuses on developing instruments that probe the early Universe through telescopes operating in millimeter-wave, far-infrared, and near-infrared wavelengths.
Research Highlights
BICEP
BICEP is a set of small aperture telescopes at the South Pole designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and search for inflation signatures. I led the design of the 95GHz BICEP3 receiver-focusing on the detector and readout systems as part of my Ph.D. dissertation-and analyzed its first dataset from 2016 to 2018.
SPHEREx
I am the instrument calibration scientist for the SPHEREx mission, a NASA medium explorer satellite launched in March 2025. SPHEREx will map the entire near-infrared sky in 102 spectral channels between 0.75 to 5~micros to study cosmic inflation through the large-scale distribution of galaxies and the light emitted by stars and galaxies over cosmic time. My team led the integration, calibration, and in-orbit commissioning of the telescope.
