About me

I am a particle physicist with a special interest in interdisciplinary research combining physics and deep learning. My work focuses on improving the sensitivity of the ARIANNA detector, a radio based experiment located in Antarctica that is searching for neutrinos. Within this work, I designed, implemented, and lab tested a real-time deep learning filter in the ARIANNA hardware that helped to distinguish neutrinos from thermal noise. I also worked on an offline deep learning data analysis using experimental and simulated data to determine how well experimental background data was rejected. My drive in research is to contribute to the discovery of new physics phenomena and encourage/retain the next generation of physicists.
