OVERVIEW
I am a third year PhD student in the physics department at the University of Florida. Originally from Long Island, I completed my B.S. in physics at Stony Brook University in May 2023. Since joining UF, I have been engaging in research projects in the subfields of quantum gravity and inflationary cosmology under the guidance of Professor Richard Woodard. With a passion for teaching, I've been a course instructor for the UF Online program since January 2024. Outside of physics, I run a small web hosting business.

Research Interests
My main areas of interest include quantum gravity and inflationary cosmology. Recently we have worked out one-loop corrections to the graviton self-energy for certain massless fields, and we have used this to quantum correct the linearized Einstein equations for inflationary gravitons. We further found that we can resum these effects using a variant of the renormalization group. The current work aims to extend the analysis to massive fields. Recent papers are linked below.
