Career History:

  • Associate Professor, University of Hawai’i (August 2026 – present)
  • Assistant Professor, University of Hawai’i (January 2020 – July 2026)
  • Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Particle Cosmology, University of Pennsylvania (September 2016  – December 2019)
  • Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, University of Portsmouth (September 2014 — August 2016)
  • Visiting Graduate Fellow, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (September 2013 — August 2014)

My research uses the Universe as a laboratory for fundamental physics. I develop theoretical models of dark matter and dark energy and test them with cosmological observations; use stars and other astrophysical systems to probe new particles and gravity; and study black holes, neutron stars, and gravitational waves as tests of fundamental physics in extreme environments.
