I am pursuing a PhD in astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Arizona in the Department of Astronomy, Steward Observatory. I am working on projects related to radio astronomy instrumentation and observation with Dan Marrone's group.
I'm working on the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM), a stratospheric balloon experiment for measuring the star formation history of the universe over ~4.6 billion years of cosmic time. It observes the redshifted [CII] emission line with the intensity mapping technique.
I'm also working on commissioning observations, engineering, and software related to the Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), a CO and [CII] intensity mapping instrument.
In my free time, I like taking photos with film, longboarding, working on bicycles, playing video games, 3D modeling, and hacking coffee makers.
