My research is supported by the NSF grant DMS-2306143 "Physical-Space Estimates on Black Hole Perturbations" and the NSF CAREER grant DMS-2336118 "Gravitational and Electromagnetic Waves on Black Holes". I was previously supported by NSF grant DMS-2128386 "The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes with Matter".

I am a Sloan Research Fellow and a Simons Junior Faculty Fellow, supported by the Sloan Foundation and the Simons Foundation.

I received the Frontiers of Science Award in General Relativity in 2023 and the AWM Dissertation Prize in 2020.
