About

I am a physics student at the University of Arizona, with a minor in mathematics. I work in the Arizona Cosmology Lab with Prof. Tim Eifler, and on data tools for Event Horizon Telescope simulations with Prof. Chi-kwan Chan. My current project tests when baryon acoustic oscillation reconstruction still improves distance measurements for galaxy samples with SPHEREx-like redshift errors.

I also work as a quantitative researcher and systematic trader at Qrigin Capital, where I build forecasting models, market simulators and monitoring for crypto markets.

Before Arizona, I studied physics and mathematics at Duke University and did research with Prof. Michael Troxel and Prof. Daniel Scolnic. In 2024 I spent a summer on the SPHEREx team at Caltech with Dr. Olivier Doré.
