I completed my undergrad at the University of Notre Dame double majoring in physics and French. Now, I’m getting my PhD at UC Berkeley working with Professor Saul Perlmutter. I use spectroscopy to study supernovae, specifically type 1a supernovae, which are considered “standard candles.” Their spectra are highly standardized, so based on the placement of emission lines, we can calculate the redshift of the supernova, allowing us to learn about its distance from us. Outside of physics, I love to run, hike, cook, and play board games with friends.
