Neutrinos in astrophysics

My research focuses on neutrino flavor oscillations in astrophysical dense media, such as core-collapse supernovae and the remnants of neutron star mergers. These very dense environments allow us to learn about the quantum mechanical behavior of matter under extreme conditions and thus represent a unique site for learning new physics.

I completed my PhD at the Niels Bohr Institute (Denmark) in 2022 working with Prof. Irene Tamborra on neutrino flavor conversion in dense astrophysical media. Before that, I was a master’s student at Lund University (Sweden) working under the supervision of Prof. Roman Pasechnik on the phenomenology of three-Higgs doublet models. Since then, I’ve been broadly interested in the intersection between particle physics and astrophysics.

Since I joined SLAC and Stanford in 2023, I have been focusing on understanding how elements heavier than iron, for instance, the proton-rich isotopes Molybdenum $^{92,94}\mathrm{Mo}$ and Niobium $^{92}\mathrm{Nb}$ are created via the $\nu p$-process and how neutrino flavor conversion might alter our understanding of this physical process.
