Research Statement

I am a cosmologist. I use data from the cosmic microwave background and galaxy surveys to constrain the properties of the very early universe and the physics of its subsequent evolution. I am interested in observable signatures of physics beyond the ``standard model'', such as string-theoretic models of cosmological inflation, dark energy, and modified theories of gravity, and how the observations constrain these theories.
