Info About Me I'm a physics graduate student at Harvard. My undergrad was Electrical Engineering, I tried my hand at particle physics experiments, and now working on theoretical particle physics and cosmology while looking for aliens in my spare time. "I think physicists are the Peter Pans of the human race. They never grow up, and they keep their curiosity." -- I. I. Rabi |
Cosmology & Particle Physics
My research interests are theoretical cosmology and particle physics. I'm working with Professor Nima Arkani-Hamed on using ideas of extra dimensions that solve the hierarchy problem to provide a natural model for early universe cosmic inflation. |
Optical SETI
I have been working with Paul Horowitz's Optical SETI group on a part-time basis since arriving at Harvard, mostly the allsky, but some targeted. I've built some random hardware, helped write the software to automatically or remotely control the telescope from the web. |
Rotational Shear Interferometer
I built several interferometers which combine an image with a rotated version of itself. This allows you to back out a 2D image of an objectwhere each pixel has a full spectrum. Engineering Thesis / Other Material The second picture shows white light interference fringes which appear when the 10cm path lenghts are identical to within a wavelength of like. The shapes reflect how non-flat the mirrors are on the scale of wavelengths. |

SVGKit is a collection of JavaScript libraries for painless client-side SVG manipulation: SVGKit provides browser-independent access and interaction, SVGCanvas implements Canvas API with SVG-specific additions, and SVGPlot plots/graphs data and functions. |
