I am an astronomer working on exoplanets, instrumentation, and exoplanet instrumentation!

I am currently a Troesh Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate in Astronomy at Caltech, working with the Exoplanet Technology Laboratory (ET Lab) on the development of the High‑resolution Infrared SPectrograph for Exoplanet Characterization (HISPEC).


I recently graduated with my Ph.D. from Penn State, where I helped build and commission the extreme-precision radial velocity (EPRV) instrument NEID and the NEID solar feed. Meanwhile on the exoplanetary science side, I have worked on searching for, confirming, and characterizing planets around K‑ and M‑dwarfs, utilizing NEID and the Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF) for precision RVs, and many ground-based telescopes, including diffuser-assisted ARCTIC, for precision transit photometry.
