About Me

Head shot

Hello and welcome! My name is Sam, and I am an astrophysics postdoctoral scholar working with professor Elias Most and the TAPIR group at Caltech on the theoretical development of 14-moment, resistive GRMHD. Find my CV with contact info here.

My research-related interests span a wide range, but include dissipative hydrodynamics, resistive magnetohydrodynamics, general relativity, numerical methods, and high-performance computing.

My non-research-related interests span an even wider range, but include cooking, being a dog dad to Daisy, Bo, and Penny, enjoying the outdoors, playing guitar, and traveling. I advocate for animal welfare, especially stopping animal cruelty, and also for prison reform in the US.
