Welcome

I am a postdoc at Sandia National Labs working on experimental plasma physics.
My research interests include laboratory astrophysics, pulsed-power drivers and plasma diagnostics.
I am also passionate about art, comedy and social justice. See my blog for more on those topics. Have a look around by clicking the navigation bar in the top right corner.

Astrophysical outflows laboratory experiment

My research focus of my PhD was an experiment studying the transition of accretion disks into collimated outflows in astrophysical systems (young stellar objects, AGN).

The infamous MagLIF cartoon

Simplified summary paper explaining pulsed-power and high energy density physics

I wrote a silly summary document for undergrads explaining the review paper Primer on Pulsed Power and Linear Transformer Drivers for High Energy Density Physics Applications by McBride et al. This document is full of jokes and mediocre drawings by yours truly that make many of the complex ideas go down easier.

Computational Research Access Network

A semester-long workshop in python that teaches computational methods for plasma physics research. Targeted for undergraduates who identify as underrepresented in physics, developed and taught by grad students and scientists of marginalized identities.
