The PresentI'm a third year graduate student at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. I study theoretical particle physics at the Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics' (LEPP) Institute for High-Energy Phenomenology. I am interested in a wide variety of phenomena that can be studied in high-energy particle colliders and astrophysical processes, from neutrino physics to electroweak symmetry breaking. My adviser is Yuval Grossman. |

Before coming to Cornell to obtain my PhD, I did my undergraduate studies at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I obtained my B.Sc. in 2006, graduating from the Joint Honours in Mathematics and Physics program. At McGill, I collborated with Stephen Amsel and Robert Brandenberger on a project to develop an algorithm to look for line discontinuities in the CMB produced by cosmic strings/superstrings.
