High Energy Physics

Research Interests:

In my work I apply modern on-shell scattering amplitudes methods together with the methodology of effective field theory to a variety of problems in theoretical high-energy physics. These methods have wide applicability from elementary particle physics, to gravitational wave astrophysics, to early-universe cosmology and beyond. Some recent interests include: understanding absorption effects in binary black hole and neutron star systems, the calculation of post-Newtonian corrections to the dynamics of hierarchical three-body systems in general relativity, and using holographic conformal field theory methods to constrain the landscape of consistent quantum field theories in de Sitter space.
