I work on Optical/IR astronomical instrumentation and experimental astrophysics. I am interested in building instruments for observational astronomy and understanding the specifications required for specific scientific goals. I am also interested in stellar astrophysics where I learn to understand stellar activity of cool stars, specifically M-dwarfs and whether or not they produce coronal mass ejections (CMEs). When I’m not in the lab, you can find me rock climbing inside or outdoors or going for a run on the local trail.
