I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Oskar Klein Centre in Stockholm, working in Prof. Timothy Linden’s astroparticle group. As a high-energy astrophysicist, I explore how the Universe’s most energetic environments can help us understand both astrophysical phenomena and fundamental physics.

I use multimessenger observations — gamma rays, gravitational waves, and neutrinos — to search for signals from elusive dark matter particles (in particular, ALPs and WIMPs), and to study powerful cosmic sources such as gamma-ray bursts and active galactic nuclei. I also help shape the future of space-based gamma-ray astronomy as a co-chair of the Future Innovations in Gamma Rays Science Analysis Group (FIG-SAG).

Before moving to Stockholm, I earned my PhD at the University of Maryland and NASA Goddard.

My homes are scattered across three continents and I am always planning a flight home.
