About

I am a full-time astrophysics researcher at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA), at the University of Toronto. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in physics at MIT, and my masters and PhD degrees in astronomy and astrophysics at Harvard University. I am a cosmologist working at the boundary between theory and data. My interest span the formation history of the universe, from galaxy composition to dark matter, and the computational techniques that we use to squeeze information about them. I am very passionate about all things physics, astrophysics, AI, machine learning, and I have tutored in these subjects for 14 years; please check out some of my work, outreach and hobbies on my website. I have participated in 5 international olympiads (IPhO,IOAA,IAO,IJSO, Zhautikov), and have obtained a gold metal at the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics amongst others. I have lead the USA National Team for the IOAA. Happy to teach people about these programs, and help coach and train you for them. i am also happy to provide coaching for admissions to universities accross North America.
