Hi! I am an Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, Québec.
Click here for a Curriculum Vitae.
I am a multi-wavelength astronomer, and my research group is focused primarily on using multi-messenger gravitational wave observations to study kilonova astrophysics, r-process nucleosynthesis, black hole accretion, and cosmology. Most recently, I have become interested in applications of machine learning to computationally-intractable inference problems in astrophysics. For more information, please see the ‘Research Program’ page.
I began my research career as an undergraduate at Columbia University in New York, NY, and did my PhD at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. For my PhD, I worked primarily on observations of active galactic nuclei variability, but also dabbled in a diverse variety of other areas, including cosmological simulations of galaxy formation, cosmic microwave background secondary anisotropies, and software infrastructure for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I then moved to McGill University in Montréal, QC, as a McGill Space Institute Postdoctoral Fellow. There, I began working in the exciting new field of multi-messenger gravitational wave astrophysics, before finally joining the faculty at Bishop’s University in Sherbrooke, QC.
