About me

I’m an experimental physicist who enjoys exploring and understanding data through programming, statistics, and machine learning. In May of 2024, I completed my PhD at Princeton, where I predominantly worked on measuring Higgs boson decays to bottom quarks with the CMS collaboration. During my undergrad at Northeastern University, in addition to developing monitoring software for CMS at CERN, I worked with various groups on MRI magnet design, radar-focused materials science, and plasma spectroscopy.

Beyond physics, I split my time between several hobbies. A large fraction goes to playing chess, and you can challenge me on lichess. Other strategy games including go, hex, and dots-and-boxes periodically snare my attention and can inspire coding projects. I delight in baking pies (see the blog for an original recipe) and have won multiple Pi Day bakeoffs. To balance out the pies, I often take runs down wooded paths. Otherwise I’m reading books or listening to music, but never at the same time.
