Research Interests

My research focuses on observational cosmology and using precision measurements to constrain the history, evolution, and structure of the Universe.  I specialize in instrumentation and data analysis for a variety of cosmic microwave background experiments, and I am also interested in observational probes of reionization.  I am currently a member of the SPIDER, Planck High Frequency Instrument, South Pole Telescope, C-BASS, and PAPER collaborations.
