About
I am a Doctor of Astrophysics with a passion for studying the universe and sharing my curiosity with others. My research has included active galactic nuclei (a.k.a. black holes), Saturn's moon Titan, binary systems, and exploring how variable stars relate to galactic evolution. I am currently immersed in exploring everything ultraviolet as I collaborate to select the observation targets for the upcoming ULTRASAT mission. I constantly strive to expand my knowledge base and skill set, whether it be by being challenged in the classroom or utilizing new methods in my research.
