As a member of Catherine Espaillat’s research group, I study the formation of brown dwarfs and the planets that orbit them. I use irradiated-disk models and ALMA data to measure the masses and radii of brown dwarf protoplanetary disks. These measurements enable us to constrain the formation mechanisms of both the brown dwarfs and their planets. In 2017 I received a BA from Williams College, where I analyzed spectra of planetary nebulae with Karen Kwitter. Please visit my website to find out more about my research!

Research interests: brown dwarfs, star formation, planet formation, exoplanets
