Biography

Fascinated by the big questions of the universe’s earliest moments, evolution, and composition, I studied Astrophysics and Applied Physics at Harvard University. Working on commissioning observatories across wavelengths, I became interested in innovative telescope and experiment designs. Continuing this research, I seek to advance the frontier of our technological capabilities and unlock new physical understanding. I hope to explore one of the great unknowns: the Cosmic Dark Ages before the first stars formed, when the universe was filled with cold, neutral hydrogen. This era left behind a record of the cosmos' first light in the form of an extraordinarily faint radio signal. Detecting it is challenging, as it is overwhelmed by foreground emission from our galaxy, distorted by Earth’s atmosphere, and further obstructed by human-made interference. My Physics PhD at Cavendish Laboratory will focus on developing the instrumentation and analysis methods for a mission going to the far side of the Moon to detect this primordial signal and revolutionize what we know about our cosmic origins.
