Radio Detection of Ultra-high Energy Particles

My research focuses on neutrino astronomy with radio detectors in polar ice, spanning detector calibration, event reconstruction, radio background characterization, antennas, field measurements, and analysis methods.

Overview of ultra-high energy neutrino production and radio detection with ARA and RNO-G

Current Research

From Detector Signals to Physics

ARA Five-Station Search

Ultra-high Energy Neutrino Search

Core analyst for the first array-wide diffuse search using 10.6 years of Askaryan Radio Array data, with contributions to ARA01 integration, optimization, unblinding, and interpretation.

Analysis Lead

Down-going Radio Signals

Leading an array-wide search across all five ARA stations for down-going radio signals that are inconsistent with known anthropogenic backgrounds.

Analysis Lead

Radio Background Characterization

Studying astrophysical, environmental, and anthropogenic backgrounds, including solar activity, galactic noise, high-wind triboelectric events, radiosondes, and local sources.

ARA Station 1

Calibration, Reconstruction & Background Rejection

Led the end-to-end ARA01 analysis framework, including detector calibration and data-driven modeling, event reconstruction, background rejection, and simulation.

Field Research

Summit Station, Greenland

During the 2025 RNO-G calibration campaign at NSF Summit Station, I performed in situ radio-frequency measurements and equipment deployment for detector calibration studies.
