Particle Physicist & Storyteller
I am a research fellow at the McGill Space Institute, currently working with Katelin Schutz on Dark Matter at the intersection of 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 current job as an MSI fellow, I was a PhD student working with Felix Kahlhoefer at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. I defended my 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.
