Hi there! I'm a graduate student at UVA studying core-collapse supernovae and mass-loss in massive stars. I am passionate about astronomy and teaching. When not working, and my research as well, I enjoy playing and watching soccer.
Research Interests: Core-Collapse supernovae, Stellar Mass Loss Circumstellar interaction
Observations of strongly-interacting CCSNe
Looking at X-ray, optical/IR and radio observations of type IIn and Ibn supernovae to understand the likely causes
for extensive mass-loss at late phases in these objects.
Publications: Multiwavelength study of SN IIn 2020ywx
Publications: Multiwavelength study of SN Ibn 2023fyq
Teaching: TA for Astro C10 with Alex Filippenko and Astron 9 with Courtney Dressing, Instructor for Python for Astrophysicists Decal 2021-2023, TA for Astro 3130/Observational Astronomy with Steve Majewski
Outreach: DSBK at UVA-extensive voluneering with underprivileged students in the community Serving Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind>
