I am an observational cosmologist whose research centers on using Type Ia supernovae as precise probes of the Universe’s expansion history. My interests span precision cosmology and the underlying physics of supernova explosions, as well as the development and application of artificial intelligence techniques for modern astronomical surveys. I am currently working on projects associated with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
