About me
In February 2025, I graduated Columbia University with a B.A. in Physics and a B.A. in Mathematics. I am a first year graduate student working with Prof. Zoltan Haiman at the Institute of Science and Technology (ISTA) on electromagnetic (EM) signatures of supermassive black hole binaries.
Research Interests
I am interested in using time-domain and multi-wavelength observations to identify sub-parsec supermassive black hole binaries through their transient EM signatures, including:
- Self-lensing flares
- Relativistic Doppler boosting
- (Hydrodynamical) Accretion variability
- Merger-driven Signatures
- Spectral signatures (e.g. shifting broad lines)
- Blazar/Jet-related variability.
I am also interested in Little Red Dots (LRDs), Tidal Disruption Events, and Quasi-Periodic Eruptions.
