Hello and welcome! My name is Sam, and I just finished a post-doc at Caltech with Professor Elias Most and the TAPIR group on the theoretical development of dissipative, resistive GRMHD inspired by 14-moment methods. I am switching careers to medical physics, and am enrolled in the graduate medical physics certificate program at the University of Michigan in Fall 2026. 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, enjoying the outdoors, playing guitar, and traveling. I advocate for animal welfare, especially stopping animal cruelty, and also for prison reform in the US.
