My research background is in optics, lasers, and instrumentation for interferometric ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. My PhD research was on squeezed states of light for gravitational-wave detectors, and my postdoctoral work was on commissioning the advanced LIGO detectors. I’m excited to build an inclusive research group at Syracuse and set up a new lab space focused on testing technologies for future gravitational-wave detectors.

Gravitational wave detector instrumentation
(Oct. 10, 2023)
Researchers from the University’s new Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy and Astrophysics are at the intellectual center of the next-generation observatory.
(Sept. 25, 2023)
The new center officially launched with an opening ceremony featuring distinguished speakers from Harvard, MIT and Princeton.
