I am an observational cosmologist that designs and builds novel instruments to improve our understanding of the properties and evolution of the universe. I work as Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in the Dunlap Institute and the David A. Dunlap Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics. My research work drives the development of modern and next-generation radio telescopes that require unprecedented levels of signal processing power to unlock their scientific potential, including the world’s largest radio correlator (the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment, CHIME) and the world’s most powerful radio transient detector (the CHIME/Fast Radio Burst project, CHIME/FRB). Furthermore, I analyze and interpret the data from these instruments to advance our knowledge of the universe, from its expansion history to the nature of the radio transient sky.
