Research

My research centers on developing anomaly detection and machine learning techniques for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) searches in neutrino physics.

• Developing real-time AI models for data analysis in liquid argon detectors
• Real-time Anomaly Detection (RAD) in Fundamental Physics — in collaboration with the CMS group at Princeton University for real-time anomaly detection in particle physics.
• I am a member of the SBND experiment at Fermilab

Before joining Columbia University

Prior to my graduate studies, I worked on detector development and data analysis for rare event searches. I contributed to the SUB-Millicharge ExperimenT (SUBMET), focusing on monitoring systems and background studies. I also worked on the Silicon Tracker with International Education Objective (SiTrInEO) Project
