Overview
I am originally from Stuart, Florida, but ventured out to California for my undergraduate degree. While attaining my degree in Astrophysics from Berkeley, I was also Captain of the competitive sailing team and spent my weekends traveling the state for competitions. In my free time, I enjoy sailing, hiking, mountain biking, and spending time outdoors, as well as speaking primarily in movie and TV show quotes.
Education
- B.A. in Astrophysics, University of California, Berkeley, 2023
Research
I am interested in exoplanet detection and characterization, as well as mitigation of stellar activity. Stellar activity currently presents a significant barrier in accurate detection and characterization of exoplanets, as it can provide false positives and can contaminate things like transmission spectra. I currently utilize high-resolution spectroscopy to explore various methods of characterizing stellar activity to improve our detections of exoplanets, and look forward to further exploring the field of exoplanet science.
