Welcome to my research webpage.
I study young stars, protoplanetary disks, and star-forming environments with the ultimate goal of better understanding how planets form. I use primarily numerical simulations to study how planets interact with their parental protoplanetary disks as they grow, but my research program has been expanded to involve observations (mostly using ALMA) and machine learning to infer physical processes operating in protoplanetary disks and find young, forming planets therein.
I am an assistant professor at the Department of Astronomy at the University of Florida. Before my current appointment, I was a Vera Rubin postdoctoral fellow and a NASA Hubble Fellowship Program Sagan postdoctoral fellow at the Earth and Planets Laboratory, Carnegie Institution of Washington.
