Cosmologist, Science Communicator, Author

I am an experimentalist working on understanding the origin and evolution of the universe. I build telescopes that can make precise measurement of the radiation from the earliest moments of our universe. 

Currently, I am working as an Assistant Research Scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center through a cooperative agreement with Johns Hopkins University. I received a Ph.D. in Physics & Astronomy from Johns Hopkins University in 2020 and a B.S. in Physics and Mathematics,, cum laude, from New York University Abu Dhabi in 2015. 

I consider science communication to be an integral part of my professional life and regularly use different platforms to bring my research to general public. Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer, hiking, and eating momos.
