I was born and raised in Shrewsbury, MA and attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where I received my bachelor's degree in physics in 2012.

Research interests:

I am currently interested in experimental gravitational wave detection using the LIGO observatory. Direct detection of gravitational waves has always been elusive. Establishing confirmation of gravitational waves will provide another dimension to observational astronomy and astrophysics.
