I'm a final year PhD student in theoretical high-energy physics at Cornell University's Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics. My research focuses on phenomenology beyond the Standard Model including models of supersymmetry and extra dimensions. For more details, see my research page or the non-scientist version.
My adviser is Csaba Csáki. In Fall 2013, I will be a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California Irvine.
(Refresh for a new random fact.)
I grew up in Los Angeles and majored in mathematics and physics at Stanford University. As a 2006 Marshall Scholar I spent two years in the United Kingdom where I did Part III of the Maths Tripos at Cambridge University and a masters degree as with the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology at Durham University. I'm now a PhD student at Cornell University's Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics. My interests include recreational sports (especially table tennis) and science fiction. I am a blogger.

I am in Ithaca, NY unless otherwise stated.

I have been supported by generous fellowships from the National Science Foundation (Graduate Research Fellowship) and the Paul and Daisy Soros Foundation (Fellowship for New Americans). As part of the Cornell Theory group my research is supported by NSF grant PHY-0355005. In the past I have been supported by a Marshall Scholarship and a Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship.
