About Me

I am an astrophysicist at Harvard University working on understanding the extreme physics of binary stars. I apply data mining techniques, both classical and artificial intelligence (AI)-based, to make discoveries in the the largest astronomical datasets ever made.

I hold a Future Faculty Leader (FFL) Prize Fellowship at Harvard University in the Center for Astrophysics. I am also a Fellow of the Institute for Theory and Computation in the Center for Astrophysics. I earned my PhD in the Astronomy Department at Caltech working with Professors Shri Kulkarni and Kareem El-Badry. During my PhD, I was fortunate to have been awarded an NSF Graduate Fellowship, Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellowship, and LSST-DA Data Science Fellowship.

I’m originally from the town (small city) of Salinas, California and then completed my undergraduate education in the Physics Department at Stanford University.
