Abstract

Hello! I'm an experimental particle physicist focused on probing the nature of dark matter. I'm originally from Colorado, and I got my Bachelor's in Physics with minors in mathematics and computer science from the University of Colorado as a Boettcher Scholar. I then went on to a Master's program at Stony Brook University in New York for a year, where I got really excited about dark matter detectors. This interest in dark sector physics took me to University of Oregon to pursue my Ph.D in physics. Here I work with Tien-Tien Yu and the SENSEI collaboration to look for dark matter particles in our galaxy by using ultra-sensitive detectors placed deep underground. I also work with Eric Torrence and the FASER collaboration to search for dark matter produced in high energy collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. I have been lucky enough to be a part of some really talented teams of scientists that are driving new constraints in dark matter parameter space. I've authored or co-authored 10+ peer-reviewed publications, including articles in PRL and JHEP.
