## About Me

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I will work in the LIGO Astrophysics Laboratory under [Professor Salvatore Vitale](https://physics.mit.edu/faculty/salvatore-vitale/){:target="_blank"} beginning in September 2022. At MIT, I will be supported by a [National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship](https://physics.sciences.ncsu.edu/2022/04/19/university-fellowships-office-announces-nsf-graduate-research-fellowship-program-awards/){:target="_blank"}.
I am a 4rd-year Ph.D. candidate in Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I work in the LIGO Astrophysics Laboratory under [Professor Salvatore Vitale](https://physics.mit.edu/faculty/salvatore-vitale/){:target="_blank"}, beginning in September 2022. At MIT, I am supported by the Henry W. Kendall (1955) Fellowship Fund, the La Gattuta Physics Fund, and a [National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship](https://physics.sciences.ncsu.edu/2022/04/19/university-fellowships-office-announces-nsf-graduate-research-fellowship-program-awards/){:target="_blank"}.

Broadly, I am interested in **gravitational-wave astrophysics**; I seek to understand what gravitational-wave signals can tell us about the physics of the Universe. Recently, I have helped develop advanced **parameter estimation** techniques for conducting phenomenological **tests of general relativity** with gravitational waves.
Broadly, I am interested in **gravitational-wave astrophysics**; I seek to understand what gravitational-wave signals can tell us about the physics of the Universe. Currently, I focus on the systematic uncertainties that limit our ability to extract astrophysics from analysis of the merging binary black hole population. Previously, I studied whether it would be possible to distinguish a sub-solar mass black hole from other exotic compact objects with gravitational waves. I also developed advanced parameter estimation techniques for conducting phenomenological tests of general relativity with gravitational waves.

I earned Bachelors of Science degrees in Physics and Mathematics
at North Carolina State University, where I studied core-collapse supernovae
under [Professor Carla Fröhlich](http://astro.physics.ncsu.edu/~cfrohli/){:target="_blank"}.
