I am currently working with Prof. Elena Gallo on low-level accretion onto supermassive black holes. Previously I taught physics for a year at the College of Wooster.
Research Interests
- Potential interaction between hot Jupiters and their host stars
- Role of environment in black hole growth and activity
- X-ray properties of radio-intermediate and radio-loud quasars
- Broad absorption line radio-loud quasars
- Hybrid morphology radio sources
- Mass transfer and accretion structure in Algol-type binaries
Education
B.S. Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Ph.D. Pennsylvania State University
