I study the evolution of gas around galaxies using computer simulations. By combining large-scale cosmological simulations with high-resolution isolated galaxy simulations, we can explore the formation and survival of small-scale, multiphase structures in the circumgalactic medium around galaxies. I am interested in determining the relative importance of galactic fountain gas recycling, gas accretion through cosmological filaments, and dwarf galaxy stripping in the generation of the multiphase CGM. Finally, I am studying the impact of this circumgalactic gas on the evolution of the galactic disk and how the cold, neutral material in the CGM affects star formation.

Prior to joining the ITC in 2023, I received my PhD in Physics from the University of Wisconsin - Madison investigating the evolution of the Magellanic Clouds through hydrodynamical simulations of the formation of the Magellanic Stream.
