Starting in Fall 2024, I will be joining LPL at the University of Arizona as a Ph.D. student on an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship under Professor Walt Harris. I am currently a research support assistant in GPS at Caltech working under Professor Katherine de Kleer.

I earned my A.B. in Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University. My senior thesis work, entitled "Thermal Imagery of Callisto Using ALMA Calibrator Data," was completed under the supervision of Professor Chris Chyba, Professor Katherine de Kleer, and Maria Camarca.

My current research focuses on developing Reflective Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer (RSHS) technology. I also have a keen interest in the interactions between energetic particles and planetary space environments, particularly as they relate to surface modification and habitability of solar system bodies.
