Biography

I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley. From 2015 until 2017, I worked in the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology as a NASA Sagan Fellow. I earned graduate degrees in astronomy and astrophysics from Harvard University and a bachelor's degree in astrophysical sciences from Princeton University.
