Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

I am a theorist who works at the intersection of particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. I am interested in topics that relate to fundamental physics, i.e., the constants of nature, elementary particles, and unsolved problems like the nature and origin of dark matter. I am interested in both theory and phenomenology (applications with direct connection to experiment) that help further our understanding of the building blocks of our universe.
