Hello! I am a Flatiron Research Fellow at the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute in NYC. My main research interests are AGN variability and accretion disks, computational MHD, and applying machine learning to time domain astronomy, but I’ve worked on everything from reionization to planet formation. My thesis is on using inter-waveband lags in AGN photometry to learn about AGN disk structure.

Modeling disk structure, turbulence, and the reprocessing of X-rays into UV light curves with Athena++

Using ML to detect negative lags on the inflow timescale to measure the vertical structure of AGN disks

Predicting little red dot variability
