Bio

I work in the Accelerator Physics Group at ORNL. My research focuses on beam dynamics in high-intensity particle accelerators. My specific research interests include:

• Theory and modeling of collective effects, such as space-charge-driven halo formation and instabilities.
• Phase space shaping techniques for space charge mitigation.
• Numerical modeling of particle accelerators.
• Application of probability theory and machine learning to inverse problems such as phase space tomography.
