Portfolio

My research interests include neutron stars, the many-body physics of nuclear matter, chiral effective field theory, and Bayesian methods for quantifying theoretical uncertainties. I'm also interested in developing fast & accurate emulators for complex calculations using Eigenvector Continuation and transferring ideas from applied mathematics and computer science to nuclear physics. In particular, I'm working on state-of-the-art microscopic constraints on the nuclear equation of state at zero and finite temperature for improved astrophysical simulations in the era of multi-messenger astronomy. My research also aims to improve chiral interactions for accurate nuclear-structure calculations of medium-mass to heavy nuclei and guide energy density functionals in the neutron-rich regime.
