I will be working on my PhD in Cosmology at UC Irvine this Fall 2017. I specialize in astroparticle physics, and work on a type of dark matter beyond the Cold Dark Matter paradigm---Self-Interacting Dark Matter. My interests include cosmology, particle physics, astrophysics, and physics beyond the Standard Model.
