Welcome!

I'm an assistant professor of astrophysics at Princeton University.  

 

I study supermassive black holes and the galaxies that they live in. You can read my Scientific American article for an introduction.

 

I co-teach Astronomy 203 for non-majors and graduate-level galaxies, and also sometimes the graduate seminar. I also teach algebra in NJ state prisons through the Prison Teaching Initiative.  

 

In my spare time I run marathons and learn about beads.
