I am a stellar astrophysicist at the Institute for Astrophysical Research at Boston University. I work on observational measurements of the core compositions of white dwarfs as part of buwd. I am interested in the minutae of white dwarf radial velocity measurements, especially those relating to their gravitational redshifts and higher-order Stark Effect. I'm also interested in the application of machine learning for problems in asteroseismology and time-domain astrophysics.
When I'm not working on white dwarfs, I spend time birdwatching in the Boston area, learning about systems which involve some stochastic element, and learning Spanish. I'm slowly working my way through translating Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges (one paragraph at a time). You can see some of the things I do in my spare time at the links below.
