About Me

I am currently a postdoc in Carnegie Mellon University’s High Energy Theory group. I have formerly held affiliations with Cambridge (twice), Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Penn.

Research

I study the applications of quantum mechanics to gravitational systems. I am particularly focused on applications of Effective Field Theory to gravitational problems.

Themes found in my work are:

• Early Universe Physics: What signatures of primordial physics are still cosmologically observable today?
• The Dark Sector: What is the nature of dark energy? Can cosmic acceleration by explained by any consistent long-distance modification of gravity?
• Black Hole Physics: How does high energy physics imprint itself on the properties of black holes?
