About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at the University of Iowa, where I lead and participate in a number of science and instrumentation efforts, such as:
As a graduate student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, I worked on both science and instrumentation projects. I led the second flight of the SISTINE Sounding Rocket, as well as a large archival research program using data taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). These projects aimed to better understand the FUV radiation environments around exoplanet host stars. Stellar FUV radiation is a key driver of atmospheric photochemistry, and understanding what the planet sees from its host star helps us correctly interpret spectral features in exoplanet atmospheres, such as potential indicators of habitability or life. |
