Hello!

I’m an Einstein Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, studying the physical properties of evolved massive stars, their host environments, and their eventual deaths as long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and core-collapse supernovae. In 2010 I completed my Ph.D. thesis at the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy, examining the ISM environments and massive stellar populations of LGRB host environments.

I graduated from MIT in 2006 with a bachelors degree in physics.

In my spare time I’ll do anything that gets me outdoors or to interesting places!
