Curriculum Vitae and list of publications
I am an astrophysicist, 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 galaxies. My research often lies at the intersection of observations, theory, and computation, leveraging the latest advances in statistics and machine learning. For more information, please see the ‘Research’ page.
Originally from Canada, 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 explored a diverse variety of other topics, including cosmological simulations of galaxy formation, cosmic microwave background secondary anisotropies, and software infrastructure for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I then returned to Canada as a McGill Space Institute Postdoctoral Fellow at McGill University in Montréal, QC,. 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.
