About Me

My research is on radio and far-infrared polarization with the goal of uncovering the role of magnetic fields in the cosmos. I have a particular focus on the extreme Galactic Center (GC) region of the Milky Way. I am currently an ALMA postdoctoral fellow at the Joint ALMA Observatory. Previously I was a postdoctoral scholar at Villanova University with Prof. David Chuss, reducing and analyzing a far-infrared data set obtained using SOFIA known as FIREPLACE. This data set has deepened our understanding of the role of the magnetic field in the extreme GC region and has also been featured in press articles like the New York Times, Scientific American, and others.

My Ph.D. work was completed at the University of Iowa with Prof. Cornelia C. Lang studying a population of non-thermal structures in the GC known as the non-thermal filaments (NTFs). This work was performed using polarimetric radio interferometric observations obtained using the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). I continue to study these structures to deepen our understanding of how the NTFs came to be and their role in the GC.
