I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Utah studying elusive particles called neutrinos. These particles can help us answer mysteries about our Universe, and we study them with a detector at the South Pole! In my free time, I enjoy climbing mountains.

I am a second year PhD candidate at the University of Utah, originally from New York. My work focuses on hormonal control of sex differences in sickness behavior. Outside of the lab I love checking out wine bars around SLC and hanging out with my cat!

I am a third year PhD candidate at the University of Utah. I study blazars, black holes at the centers of galaxies with a beam of radiation directed at Earth. Outside of work, I like to roller skate and rock climb, and I am exploring many more outdoor activities while living in Salt Lake City!

I'm a second year PhD student studying particles that are accelerated up to extremely high energies in astrophysical sources. In my free time, I enjoy music, exploring the mountains around Salt Lake City, and talking to my community about science!
