Bio

I was given the opportunity to take a summer student position at SNOLAB through the University of Waterloo co-op program in 2016. The work was focused on the DEAP 3600 experiment, a dark matter direct-detection experiment located in the Creighton Mine outside of Sudbury, Ontario. This experience sparked my interest in particle astrophysics, and in the following year was accepted as a graduate student at Queen’s University to work on the PICO dark matter experiment.
