I am currently an Associate Professor at West Virginia University in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and Adjunct Assistant Professor in Department of Physics and Astronomy. I received my B.S. and Ph.D. in physics from Carnegie Mellon University in 2003 and 2011, respectively. From 2011 to 2015, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at McGill University.
For interested students, and more detailed information about my research and the radio astronomy instrumentation lab, see the WVURAIL site http://wvurail.org/
My interests are in disovering the mysteries of the universe. In particular I seek to better understand Dark Energy, the name given to the driver of the accelerated expansion of our universe.
This has led me to focus on building wide-field survey Radio Astronomy instruments in order to better understand our universe, such as CHIME.
