Current work

I am currently working on my honors thesis. My work revolves around BSM models to study Dark Matter. I am really excited to get deep into this, as it is the first time I will combine some pen and paper work with computational analysis!

As of October (2024), I have, in particular, been studying a model through the eyes of BCS superconductivity, its implications through Dynamical Symmetry breaking, and how it fits in Cosmology. I look forward to putting the model into parameter-constraining codes.

In the past, I have worked on neutrinos (particle cosmology: Neutrino masses, mixing) and Thermal Field Theories (formulation, computation, corrections, phase transitions and resummation).

Talks

Exploring physics beyond the Standard Model through early Universe Cosmology

Physics Day, University of New Mexico. April 13th, 2024

Awarded 2nd best talk.

Although similar to the talk below, this one was oriented to a physics-based audience. Further details were discussed and a slightly more technical language was used.
