I am an astronomer, cosmologist, and data scientist, currently a NSF & NASA funded Assistant Research Scientist at the UC San Diego Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences (CASS) and a Research Affiliate in the MIT STS Program. My primary research programs include devising and implementing fun experiments that leverage cosmology to test fundamental physics, including novel tests of quantum theory with astronomical observations, searches for exotic new physics with optical polarization studies of distant galaxies, as well as Infrared and Optical studies of Supernovae with ground and space based telescopes to measure the expansion history of the universe, cosmic acceleration, and dark energy. I enjoy exploring fascinating scientific questions at the interface between observational cosmology and the philosophy of science through research, science writing, art, animation, public outreach, and science media engagement.
