I am a research scientist in the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, and the leader of the astrophysics group of the DOE NNSA/ASC Flash Center. The primary theme of my research is the fundamental physics of turbulent flows, and its application to a variety of astrophysical phenomena, including Type Ia supernovae and star formation.

UPDATE: I have accepted a tenure-track position in the Department of Physics at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth beginning this September.
