Profile/About Me
Hello there! I'm a second year PhD student working with Dr. Zrake. I love learning about the universe and sharing that knowledge with others.
Research Interests
I'm interested in computational astrophysics. In particular, I look at the dynamical interactions between binary black holes and the dust and gas which surround them in disks and halos. These interactions lead to both electromagnetic and gravitational signatures which can be detected with current and future ground and space-based observatories.
