Particle Physicist & Storyteller
I am an IPP Connect Fellow based at Carleton University, working on Dark Matter at the intersection of astro/particle physics and cosmology.
When I am not pondering the mysteries of the universe (and sometimes even when I am) I like to tell stories, fictional and otherwise, and create art of dubious quality.
Links to all of these things are sprinkled around this page!
Background
Before starting my IPP fellowship, I was a TSI fellow at McGill University. I completed my PhD with Felix Kahlhoefer at RWTH Aachen University in Germany with a thesis on dark matter portal interactions, titled Doors to Darkness, in September of 2021. My Masters was also completed at Aachen with a thesis on Freeze-in Production of Dark Matter via the Higgs Portal. I received my Bachelors from Miranda House, University of Delhi in 2016.
