About me
I am a 4th year PhD student at MIT, studying experimental nuclear physics. When not fighting with computing clusters or performing percussive maintenance, I’m usually in the mountains or on the water.
I am an <insert positive adjective(s) of your choice> individual; I give weekly presentations to 30-person collaborations as well as 1-1 and small group technical meetings. I’ll take potentially experiment-ending complications over monotony any day of the week.
Current Research
I'm currently working under Prof. Or Hen, studying nuclear structure and the EMC Effect. This work required a year of data taking at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, where (as the only graduate student on the experiment), I performed a wide variety of tasks ranging from detector and readout electronics installation and testing; data acquisition setup (triggers, FADC's, TDC's, etc.); raw signal processing; software development (C++); and higher level physics analysis. Having successfully collected all data in July 2025, I'm back at MIT currently working with a team of post-docs, research scientists, and professors to calibrate, analyze, and publish our data by 2027.
