Biography

My work takes an information-theoretic approach to investigating questions at the intersection of quantum theory and gravitational physics. My research interests include quantum information science, quantum field theory on curved spacetimes, interferometric tests of the equivalence principle, and relational formulations of quantum mechanics.

As an undergraduate I studied at the University of Waterloo and then moved to the University of Toronto to complete a Masters of Science. I then enrolled in a cotutelle program at the University of Waterloo and Macquarie University, earning a doctorate degree from both institutions. I joined the Dartmouth community as a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows in 2017 and was awarded an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship to work in the area of relativistic quantum information. In 2020 I began an assistant professorship at Saint Anselm College.
