I am a Senior Associate Quantitative Analyst, Economic Services at KPMG, based in the Detroit, MI office. I graduated with my PhD in Nuclear Astrophysics from Michigan State University in December 2023. I love collecting, cleaning, and modeling data and enjoy finding ways to put that skill set to good use.

Previously, my research interests included Urca cooling in superbursting systems, nucleosynthesis in core-collape supernovae, and optimizing accelerator methods for nuclear astrophysics experiments.

A list of my scientific publications can be found on my Google Scholar page, and a brief description of my projects are available on my research page. For more information, please see my resume, and my advisor's group page. My PhD thesis is available here.
