I am a postdoctoral astronomy researcher. My breadth of expertise ranges from instrumentation for ground-based observatories to magnetic activity of our Sun to exoplanets orbiting other stars.

I have been conducting this research at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) for graduate school and the NCAR High Altitude Observatory (HAO) for my postdoc. My research interests (see CV) include the following topics:
