Hi there! I’m computational and theoretical astrophysicist with broad interests in black hole and plasma physics. My research primarily focuses on improving models of black hole accretion, and is guided by observational data. I am currently a finishing PhD candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign advised by Prof. Charles Gammie.
