I am an experimental physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory on the STAR experiment at RHIC. My work focuses on scientific computing, data production and preservation, and AI tools that help researchers use experimental knowledge more effectively. I previously worked on CMS at CERN and as a postdoc at the University of Tennessee.
