I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the group of Prof. Ellen Zweibel. I am also a member of Simons Collaboration on Extreme Electrodynamics of Compact Sources (SCEECS). My main interests revolve around investigating fundametal processes at the origin of the observed radiative and particle spectra from various astrophysical sources. I employ fully kinetic plasma simulations to explore the microphysics of these complex phenomena. My current focus is on extreme plasmas associated with compact objects and their environments.
