I’m an Associate Professor of Physics at Lafayette College, in Easton, Pennsylvania. I joined the Physics Department at Lafayette in 2016. I’m a theoretical particle physicist and cosmologist, and my research focuses primarily on understanding how our universe evolved to look the way it does today and on identifying the nature and properties of the dark matter that that universe contains.
