I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the UC Berkeley Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Precision measurement technology is advancing rapidly, and my work focuses on using it to accelerate the discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model. To do this, I find novel laboratory signals of new fundamental particles, consistent with relativity and quantum mechanics, and work with experimentalists to develop effective “tabletop” detectors.
For instance, I have worked on searches for axion dark matter using superconducting cavities, now pursued in America, Europe, and China. I have also investigated infrared modifications of electromagnetism and gravity from continuous spin, new signals of axial vector dark matter, and the quantum effects of gravitational waves.
Previously, I got my PhD at Stanford in 2024, Master’s degrees at Cambridge and Oxford, and a Bachelor’s degree at MIT. During that time I spent a lot of energy on physics education, and I’m still always interested in hearing a good physics puzzle.
