I am a Neutrino Theory Network Fellow at the Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics (Caltech)  I am interested in particle physics phenomenology, searches for new physics, effective field theory, and emergent behavior in many-body systems. As a guiding principle, I try to study problems that are relevant for either ongoing or near-future experimental programs. More information can be found on my research interests page, and in my list of publications.

I was recently a postdoctoral scholar at U. Kentucky (working with Richard Hill) and a long term visitor at Fermilab (working with the Theory group). I completed my graduate education at McMaster University with an M.Sc. supervised by Itay Yavin (2015) and a Ph.D. supervised by Duncan (DHJ) O’Dell (2019). During this period I was an affiliate graduate student at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo where I collaborated with Cliff Burgess, Gabriel Magill, and Maxim Pospelov.
