I am interested in the plasma physics of various astrophysical objects. Some of the things that I have worked on previously are: Fast Radio Bursts, high energy flares from supermassive black holes, the circumnuclear disk at the Galactic Center and heartbeat binary systems. My work combines theory with magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulations. I also like developing code, and am a part of the development team of the GPU-accelerated PIC code, Entity.
