Hello! I am an Astronomy Ph.D. candidate and DoD NDSEG Fellow at Yale University with plans to graduate in May 2025. My research aims to connect solar system and exoplanet research by blending theoretical astrophysics, observational astronomy, and planetary science. I’ve worked on topics in minor planets and exoplanets for my dissertation. Broadly, I study in the physical processes that govern planet formation and long-term evolution.

Prior to Yale, I attended Caltech for my undergraduate studies and graduated from the physics & planetary science options in 2018. Then, I worked in mathematical finance on the equity exotic derivatives desk at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. In that position, I led the conceptualization, development, and pricing of contracts whose risk profiles could not be expressed in closed-form.

Outside of my research, I am interested in developing best practices for conference management and organization. Towards that goal, I led the organizing committee for the Emerging Researchers in Exoplanetary Science (ERES) symposium at Yale in 2023. We hosted over 100 early-career exoplanet researchers in New Haven, CT for a two-day scientific program and wrote-up our experiences as graduate student conference organizers for the Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society.
