Education

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics from the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, with research interests centered on compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars. My experience spans multiple approaches to studying these systems: I have explored black hole accretion using General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic simulations and examined tests of modified gravity in this context. I have also investigated the spectral variability of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs), predicted to be powered by neutron stars, by modeling their spectra over an observational epoch. In addition, I have applied machine learning techniques to develop predictive models for industry-focused applications.
