Education

The Johns Hopkins University PhD Theoretical Astrophysics 2016

My advisor was award winning astrophysicist Joe Silk, and my closest colleague was Dr. Volker Gaibler.  My thesis was on massively parallel computer simulations of the coevolution of super-massive black holes residing at the centers of galaxies and the galaxies themselves, most specifically star formation within the host.  We have three publications in the Astrophysical Journal.
