Hello and welcome! I am a Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Carnegie Institution for Science | Earth and Planets Laboratory. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany, in Prof. Ewine van Dishoeck’s group. In August 2021, I graduated with my Ph.D. from Boston University under the guidance of Prof. Catherine Espaillat. Before that, I did my bachelor’s degree at the University of Michigan with Prof. Nuria Calvet.

I study the disks of gas and dust that surround young stars and are the birthplaces of exoplanets. Specifically, I focus on the composition and structure of the inner disk and how populations of disks evolve using observations from space-based (including JWST and Herschel) and ground-based telescopes (including the Very Large Telescope, Lowell Discovery Telescope, Gemini South, and ALMA). Recently, I have started extending these observations down to disks around planetary-mass companions, which may be the sites of moon formation. More information is available on my Research page and the illustration below provides an overview of my research.
