RESEARCH

I have always been intrested in how mathematics can be used to describe physics, which has led me to the field of theoretical physics. Within physics, I have long been interested in how gravity and quantum physics might coalesce. Following some undergraduate exposure to quantum information theory, I found Relativistic Quantum Information (RQI) to be the most intriguing path forward.

I am currently in the process of writing a manuscript based on the work found in my MSc thesis, some of which has already been published in a JHEP paper. I have also published a PRD paper with collaborators examining the Unruh effect for more general quantum detectors. More recently, I have taken an interest in Giacomini, Castro-Ruiz, and Brukner's framework for Quantum Reference Frames and how it relates to spacetime. In particular, I have recently put out an arxiv pre-print with collaborators in which we describe an accelerated quantum detector in a superposition of semi-classical spacetimes.

I am currently a co-organizer of the Waterloo RQI Seminar Series in which we host monthly talks on topics of interests in RQI. Speakers thus far have included Bruno De Souza Leao Torres (Perimeter Insitute), Evan Gale (U. Queensland), and Anne-Catherine de la Hamette (IQOQI Vienna), with many more exciting speakers to come. I will be providing a link to our YouTube channel in the near future.

In the meantime, you can learn a little more about my work by watching this short video by the Waterloo Centre for Astrophyiscs: 

During my undergrad at Mount Allison, I mostly worked under the supervision of Dr. Nathaniel Johnston, working on projects within Quantum Entanglement Theory. I also spent a summer working for Dr. Mark Hamilton working on Geomtric Quantization, during which I was first exposed to symplectic geometry.
