Hello All!

I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, working in the field of Nuclear Experimental Physics. Specifically I am using a technique called Accelerator Mass Spectrometry coupled with Gamma Ray Activity measurements to measure the half life of 60Fe. This particular isotope is interesting for stellar and early Solar System models.

Feel free to check out my website.

In my "free time", I enjoy camping, hiking, soccer, reading, playing piano and photography (check out my profile on Your Shot - National Geographic, link here).
