I am an observational cosmologist interested in learning about the beginning and the evolution of our universe. I test our cosmological models against observational data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large-scale structure using modern statistical and machine learning tools.

I am part of the South Pole Telescope and BICEP/Keck Array collaborations; both experiments deliver the deepest maps of the mm-wave sky.



In graduate school, I was part of a small team that designed, built, and deployed the BICEP3 telescope. That experience predisposes me to focus my analysis attention on instrumental systematics, along with astrophysical ones that can bias our measurements.

Prior to Caltech, I was a Panofsky Fellow and Associate Scientist at SLAC. I postdoc-ed at the University of Chicago and UC Berkeley as KICP Fellow and Croucher Fellow, respectively. I got my PhD from Stanford and did my undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
