As a computational and theoretical astrophysicist, I am interested in the physics of compact objects, such as neutron stars and black holes. My interests revolve around questions of fundamental physics at the intersection of gravitational, nuclear and plasma astrophysics.

I am an Assistant Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics and a William H. Hurt Scholar at the California Institute of Technology. I am also a member of the TAPIR group. Before moving to California, I was the John Archibald Wheeler postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science, the Princeton Gravity Initiative and a five-year member of the Institute for Advanced Study. Previously, I was a predoctoral fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute in New York and a graduate student at Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany.
