I am currently an Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota. I am excited about using SEDMv2 to discover the counterparts to gravitational waves, both found by current instruments such as LIGO and future instruments such as LISA, following up objects identified by surveys such as the Zwicky Transient Facility.
