Profile

I'm an astrophysicist who uses statistical data analysis, machine learning and open-source software to study microlensing, brown dwarfs and exoplanets.

My current research at The Ohio State University focuses on infrastructure for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, while also creating educational resources and accessibility-driven tools for the wider astronomy community.
