I am an assistant professor in the physics department at the University of Texas at El Paso. Currently, my work focuses on understanding physical processes occurring in molecular clouds. Specifically, I am modelling cosmic ray propagation, the dissipation of weak MHD turbulence, and dust coagulation. In the past, I have worked on solar system dynamics, black hole mergers, and anomalous microwave emission. I do a mixture of analytic work and numerical simulations.
