PhD Student in Astronomy · University of Massachusetts Amherst

I study exoplanet and brown dwarf formation using data from JWST, ALMA, and other observatories. My work sits at the intersection of observational astronomy, instrumentation, and scientific software development.

Current Research

Planetary Mass Object Formation

Using JWST near- and mid-infrared observations combined with ALMA millimeter data to study the formation and early evolution of substellar objects - both companions and free-floating "rogue" objects. formation pathways.
