I am a first­year graduate student at Harvard University. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Maryland College Park where I worked on various problems in high­ energy astrophysics. My current project involves digging into our LIGO "dry­-run" dataset and characterizing contamination in the transient NIR sky. This will assist future observers in searching for potential electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave events. When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, photography, reading non­fiction, and playing the drums.
