Research Interests
My main research interests involve exploring the effects of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback on intergalactic scales. In particular I explore ways that AGN feedback may affect the Lyman-alpha forest. Constraining AGN feedback is a multi-scale problem so developing accurate models is complex. Exploring the life cycle of supermassive black holes from the accretion disk level (~sub-pc scales) out to intergalactic scales (~Mpc scales) is necessary to fully understand the complexity of these objects.
About Me
Originally from Texas, my love for astrophysics brought me to NJ for my graduate studies at Rutgers University. I've always been interested in the wild objects that exist out in space and I am thrilled I get to study arguably the most mysterious objects out there, black holes!
