I am a 51 Pegasi b Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), working with the Planet Formation Lab led by Richard Teague in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences (EAPS). I'm also engaged in the MIT School of Science Fellows community as an inaugural cohort member.

My research is focused on how planetary systems arise around young stars. The big-picture motives are to find young planets, characterize their birth environments, and understand the physical processes at play. I work primarily with observations from the ALMA radio telescope, and I often perform computational simulations to help interpret the data. A complete list of research projects can be found here, and a complete list of my papers can be found in my ADS Library or through ORCID.

Before arriving at MIT, I completed my Ph.D. in astronomy at the University of Victoria working with Ruobing Dong. I did my B.Sc. at McMaster University in the interdisciplinary research-based Integrated Science Program, with a concentration in astrophysics. During my four years at McMaster, I worked with Laura Parker, Christine Wilson, and in particular Ralph Pudritz, who supervised my honours thesis. During the summers, I worked with David Lafrenière at the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx), and J.J. Zanazzi at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA).
