I'm from just outside of Boulder, Colorado. I'm one of many afflicted by Niwot's Curse.

I went to University of Colorado Boulder for my bachelor's degree. At CU, I tried (and failed) to get into Bose-Einstein condensate research. Instead, I did observational astronomy, then I helped build a balloon-borne cosmic ray detector to be used for outreach purposes, and finally I did some space weather phenomenology research. I graduated right on time to dodge the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now I'm at University of New Hampshire. Here I'm studying the causes of geomagnetically induced currents, which are potentially dangerous electrical currents in power lines, telecom equipment, etc. I'm a member of the MAGICIAN project, which is trying to forecast geomagnetically induced currents with machine learning.

The background images on this website were created by me, using ARCSAT at Apache Point Observatory. See if you can figure out which objects they are!
