I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Volodymyr Takhistov at QUP. I completed my PhD at the University of Oregon with Tien-Tien Yu and my undergraduate studies at the University of California Santa Cruz with Stefano Profumo. My research interests span from astro-particle physics to dark matter direct detection experiments and are generally unified by neutrino phenomenology. Outside of academia I am a competitive ultra-endurance cyclist.
Research Content
My research relating to dark matter experiments has focused on non- standard neutrino interactions, either from solar or atmospheric neutrinos in low-threshold skipper CCD. as well as larger liquid xenon experiments.
On the astro-particle side, I have studied the relics of evaporated primordial black holes which have been considered as a dark matter candidate. I've also studied the neutrino signals from the annihilation of dark matter in the first stars in the universe. Such "dark stars" have been proposed as the progenitors of supermassive black holes. In this work I showed that the neutrinos from DM annihilation in this picture are observable in Super-K and IceCube.
