About

I am an observational astronomer interested in galaxy formation and evolution, using imaging and spectroscopy from both ground- and space-based telescopes and developing analysis tools to study both population-level properties as well as the detailed nature of individual galaxies.

I've focused on studying distant galaxies as they existed billions of years ago, near the peak epoch of cosmic star formation ("cosmic noon" at z~1-3) and at earlier times. Much of my work has involved characterizing these galaxies' structures, composition, and inner dynamics, which allow us to understand mass assembly and transformations as galaxies grow, evolve, and eventually quench.

Currently I'm investigating these topics as a member of multiple surveys, including the UNCOVER Treasury and MegaScience surveys (as Survey Manager), and Heavy Metal.
