About me

I'm a physicist and applied mathematician focused on high-energy astrophysics and theoretical cosmology. I completed dual degrees in physics and applied mathematics at Boise State University.

My recent work includes a dynamical systems analysis of an Einstein-Cartan ekpyrotic bounce cosmology, published in General Relativity and Gravitation (2026), and an archival Chandra timing survey of X-ray pulsars across the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, submitted to MNRAS (2026). Both are single-author. The pulsar work started as undergraduate research, stalled when my advisor retired, and I rebuilt and finished it independently after graduation.

I'm currently looking for PhD programs in astrophysics, cosmology, or physics and open to research collaborations in the meantime.

Outside research I golf, paddleboard when I get the chance, and spend a lot of time in CAD and 3D printing, something I've been doing since high school and still find an excuse to use constantly.
