Acting Assistant Professor, Physics
Department: Physics
Junior Fellow, Simons Society of Fellows (2022 - 2025)
Ph.D., Princeton University (2022)
M.A. (Cantab.), Cambridge University (2018)
I’m broadly interested in theoretical, statistical, and observational cosmology, particularly as applied to galaxy surveys and the Cosmic Microwave Background. Recently, I have worked on measuring, modeling, and interpreting new and old physics in a range of cosmological datasets, and using them to learn about the early Universe. With Mikhail Ivanov and Marko Simonovic, I won the 2024 New Horizons Prize in Physics, for work on the Effective Field Theory of Large Scale Structure. Please send me an email if you're interested in working with me!
