University of Chicago
I'm a rising senior at the University of Chicago. With a particular interest in the physics of the early universe, I'm drawn to studying these questions from both cosmology and high-energy perspectives. Currently, I'm focusing on exploring cosmological correlators on toy models to understand how underlying structural features constrain their form. I plan to continue in this direction to probe the origin of large-scale structure from primordial perturbations. Earlier in my undergrads, I joined Professor Scott Dodelson's group and worked on field-level inference in the cosmic microwave background. As my training in physics and math progresses, I have increasingly shifted toward theoretical approaches.
