I was born in Santa Monica, California on June 19, 1973, lived
for almost 12 years in Houston,Texas, and spent my high school
years in Vestal, New York (upstate near the border between NY and
PA). I received my B.S. in Physics from MIT in 1995 (carrying out
research with Pawan Kumar) and
my Ph.D. in Astronomy from Harvard
University in 1999 (under the supervision of Ramesh Narayan).
I was a postdoc in the School of
Natural Sciences at the Institute
for
Advanced
Study for 2 years before coming to Berkeley in 2001. I
moved to Princeton in Fall 2020.
When I can find the time, I enjoy nature
photography. I also enjoy cooking, hiking,
gardening (growing food, that is), and reading.
