I am currently working on the APOLLO project in the Gravitational Astrophysics Lab, under the leadership of Dr. Tom Murphy. APOLLO stands for Apache Point Observatory, Lunar Laser-ranging Operation. This project measures the distance to the Moon to millimeter precision to provide experimental tests of the theory of General Relativity.

I currently work in the Simons Observatory, which is developing an array of telescopes in Chile to look at the cosmic microwave background radiation. Among other goals, we are looking to detect signatures of cosmic inflation by measuring its impact on the polarization of the CMB.

My research currently focuses on testing and integrating the Small Aperture Telescope (SAT) for the Simons Observatory (SO). SO is a ground-based CMB experiment being built in Chile. SO will deploy three 42-cm aperture SATs and a 6-m large aperture telescope (LAT). The SATs will observe in six frequency bands from 29-270 GHz and map 10% of the sky to make detailed mapping of the CMB temperature and polarization.
