About Me

I graduated from the University of California San Diego in 2019 with a BS in Astrophysics. There I worked with Karin Sandstrom and published two papers on the potential of PAHs as tracers of both gas density and star formation rate using the SINGS sample of Spitzer spectroscopy. In 2021, I started the Astrophysics PhD program at the University of Toledo. My thesis research with advisor JD Smith is on the origin of the observed PAH deficit at low metallicities. I am also a leading member of the Spitzer IRS Mapping Legacy Archive (SIMLA) team which will soon reduce and release, for the first time, all 7000 spectral cubes observed during the Spitzer cold mission.
