I am a graduate student in the Duke Cosmology group expecting to graduate in early 2025.
My research focuses on supernova cosmology. I have spent the majority of my time in grad school working on NIR SN analysis as well as peculiar velocities. In the NIR, I have been the lead of the DEHVILS survey, and I have recently begun leading the SAINTS team which will compile and analyze all existing NIR LCs in the literature. With peculiar velocities, I was the first to correct for PVs in a SN analysis as a part of Pantheon+, and I am leading a pilot program to define galaxy groups for SN hosts. Finally, I am also working on constraining dust by analyzing SN color evolution. My work will be both applicable and useful for both LSST and Roman, and I hope to spend my career working on these projects.
