Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow | Theoretical & Numerical Astrophysics | Niels Bohr International Academy
I am a Marie Curie Fellow working in the theoretical astrophysics group at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. I did my undergraduate studies at Georgetown University and completed my PhD at New York University in 2022. My primary research focus is on the use of high-performance numerical tools to study gas dynamics around astrophysical binaries. I use these simulations to study the fundamental physics of accretion, constrain the population-level properties of binaries in gaseous environments, and to search for electromagnetic and multi-messenger signatures of black hole mergers. My broader interests include analytic modeling of accretion flows around massive black holes, environmental effects in gravitational wave detections, time-domain observations of active galactic nuclei, the dynamics of planet-like objects embedded in disks, and the high-redshift growth of super-massive black holes. I am a core member of the LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) astrophysics group and an associate member in NANOGrav (North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves).
