About me

I am a theoretical astrophysicist with broad research interests spanning galaxy formation, fluid dynamics, and plasma physics. My work centers on understanding the physical processes that govern the behavior of gas in and around galaxies, using a combination of numerical simulations, analytic modeling, and interdisciplinary approaches. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronomy at Cornell University. Before this, I was a Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics in the Flatiron Institute, following my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley under the mentorship of Eliot Quataert. My research seeks to bridge scales and disciplines, exploring phenomena such as turbulence, cosmic ray transport, and multiphase gas dynamics in astrophysical and other systems. Originally from New York City and raised in Montclair, NJ, I maintain a strong commitment to education, mentorship, and fostering an inclusive scientific community.
