I have a joint appointment as a Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Prize post-doc at UC Davis and as a post-doctoral research staff member in the Physics Division of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.  Previously I was a post-doc in the Institute for Computational Cosmology within the Physics Department at Durham University.  Before that I did my Ph.D. work in the Cosmology group at the University of California at Davis.

My research uses a variety of astronomical observations and numerical simulations to learn about galaxies, dark matter, dark energy, and the very early universe.  Currently, I am particularly interested in new algorithms, models, and statistical tools to extract cosmological information from upcoming photometric surveys and space missions.
