About me:
I am an Assistant Physicist in the Theory Group of the Physics Division at Argonne National Lab. Before joining the staff at Argonne, I earned by Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame, was a postdoctoral fellow at TRIUMF and the Institute for Nuclear Theory, and was an FRIB Theory Fellow at Washington University. The primary focus of my research is in developing ab initio methods for predicting properties of nuclear structure and reactions for which the only input is the interaction between protons and neutrons. I then use these predictions to gain insight into the underlying symmetries and correlations which give rise to emergent collective behavior.
