Ultra-relativistic particle collisions provide unique access to the properties of quantum field theories at high energies and recreate in the laboratory the conditions of the early universe. Measurements at facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider have established that the Standard Model is a highly accurate theory of nature. There are, however, still major outstanding questions related to the early universe and the fields that drove its dynamics. To answer these questions, I work on accelerator-based experiments, physics measurements, and AI-ingrained technology.

I am currently a Research Associate at the Enrico Fermi Institute through the Schmidt Sciences Foundation. I received my Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University in 2023 and dual B.S. in physics and mathematics from MIT in 2019.
