Welcome! I am a Ph.D. astrophysicist and planetary scientist hoping to further our understanding of rocky planets beyond our Solar System through experimentation and models, while at the same time enhancing our appreciation of Earth and life's place in the cosmos.
I am currently a NASA Hubble Fellowship Program Sagan Fellow at the Carnegie Institution for Science’s Earth and Planets Laboratory working on understanding how life-essential volatile elements (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, oxygen) distribute between the interiors and atmospheres of low-mass planets. I also collaborate with the Experimental Planetology group at ETH-Zürich led by Professor Paolo Sossi in the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences.
