About Me

I am a PhD candidate in the Program in Plasma Physics at Princeton University. I use a variety of analytical and numerical tools to investigate problems in astrophysics that involve plasmas, the most abundant phase of ordinary matter in the universe. During my first and second years at Princeton I studied magnetic reconnection, a process that is critical to our understanding of events like solar flares and geomagnetic storms. For my thesis, I have been studying some of the unique behaviors that turbulent plasmas exhibit in environments like the intracluster medium of galaxy clusters and black hole accretion flows.
