Short presentation
I work in the field of astroparticle physics. More specifically I work on developing cosmic neutrino detectors with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the Radio Neutrino Observatory - Greenland. My main focus is on developing deep-learning reconstruction algorithms to understand the direction, energy, and flavor of the measured neutrinos. I also work on simulating ice properties such as birefringence and its effect on our detectors as well as the development of wind turbines for the Arctic.
