About Me

I am a physics graduate student working with Matthew Walker and Sergey Koposov on studying the binary stars of dwarf galaxies. We primarily focus on the local group, looking at the Milky Way satelites with a hope of uncovering some of the mysteries of dark matter. Outside of physics and cosmology, I am also interested in applications of machine learning to analyze all types of media by combining conventional statitical methods with deep learning.
