Long Bio
My main research area is instrumentation for cosmology and astrophysics during the epoch of reionization using the 21cm Hydrogen line.
My area of technical expertise is the design and development of low frequency antennas for the use in interferometer and global signal experiments. My current work involves the development of low mutual coupling antennas to limit uncertainties and systematics in future 21 cm interferometers through the use of electromagnetic simulation software such as Altair FEKO.
I have also been involved with field work in the canadian high arctic as well as at observatories in the US for interferometer deployment and testing. I have done work with drone-based antenna calibration projects and student-led cube-satellite development and testing.
I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and also do lots of climbing. I spend most of my weekends out on the rock!
Education
I received my bachelor's in Honours Physics at McGill University in 2023. I am now pursuing an Astrophysics PhD and a concurrent MSE degree in Electrical Engineering. I plan to graduate in 2026.
