I am a second year PhD student in Astronomy and Astrophysics at Columbia University. Previously, I worked as an Astronomer at the Harvard CfA on the TESS Science Team and with the Origins of Life Collaboration. I completed my undergraduate degree at MIT in Physics with minors in Computer Science and Comparative Media Studies in 2018.

I search for and study planets outside our solar system - to study planetary formation, architecture, and habitability. Outside of planetary research, I am also interested in characterizing self-lensing binaries with white-dwarf companions to investigate white-dwarf structure models. I hope to search for and find new self-lensing binaries with TESS.

SRMP students building galileoscopes in October, 2019.

Early mentorship and support from teachers and professors gave me the confidence to pursue a career in astronomy. I really enjoyed working with and mentoring high school students.

Two of the main outreach projects I work on are the Harvard Observing Project as an observer and the Harvard-MIT Science Research Mentorship Program (SRMP) as the Head of Observing .
