Assistant Professor

I study energetic transient astrophysical phenomena, with a focus on relativistic explosions such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) sources. My work informs our understanding of the final stages of stellar evolution, serve as laboratories of fundamental physics from particle acceleration to the launch and collimation of relativistic outflows, and provide precise probes of the infant Universe.
