I am an astronomer with a background in physics and
mathematics. I love to combine physical intuition with
mathematical theories to better understand our universe.
Currently, I am a Carnegie Fellow at the Carnegie
Observatories in Pasadena, CA. I grew up along the beautiful
coast of Maine and love to spend my free time outdoors.
Research Interests
Very broadly, my roots are in radio astronomy. I have
been especially interested in using radio emission as a
dust-unbiased tracer of star formation---both locally and
across cosmic time. Locally, I use radio emission to constrain
the transport of cosmic rays to better understand their
influence in the growth and evolution of galaxies. Far away, I make
statistical models of faint populations of radio sources to
constrain the cosmological evolution of galaxies. Recently,
I've combined these models with optical/NIR spectra to calibrate
SFR diagnostics across various environments.
