Biography

I received my Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame and I joined the Fermilab group in 2018. My research focus is searching for dark matter using the CMS experiment, particularly in final states with new and exotic signatures such as displaced lepton jets. My technical expertise is in CMS computing, particularly in developing software that will help address the computing challenges of the HL-LHC. This includes software R&D to speed up the CMS track building algorithms and the development of the COFFEA framework that applies industry data science techniques to CMS data analysis.
