Biography

Born in London and raised in Milan, I came to Texas in a quest to never again experience a true three month winter. I work for Prof. Fitzpatrick on plasma equilibrium and stability problems. When not doing physics you can generally find me trying to go fast uphill on a bike or playing with my cats Wasabi and Kassad. 

Research

I am interested in problems in plasma equilibrium and ideal mhd stability.
