About Me
Most recently, I have been developing software in the field of computational crystallography. During that time, I've cultivated a deep familiarity with Python, and have harnessed various open-source packages to analyze a diverse set of data across many different applications.
My academic background is in particle physics and cosmology. I completed my Master's (2009) and Ph.D. (2013) at McMaster University with Cliff Burgess, studying six-dimensional phenomenological models aimed at better understanding the cosmological constant problem. (My thesis can be viewed online here.) I also spent two years at the University of Leuven's Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITF) in the High Energy Physics group as a post-doctoral fellow. I've authored 16 peer-viewed publications and was co-recipient of the 2016 Buchalter Cosmology Prize.
I enjoy both listening to and performing music. Although I've been primarily interested in jazz and R&B lately, I also studied classical piano and cello from a young age, and have played in various local community and university orchestras over the years.
