Currently working with Dr. Adam Kowalski I'm studying stellar magnetic activities especially "superflares" on solar-type (G-type) stars and cooler K,M-type stars, using the various photometric and spectroscopic data from space and ground telescopes (e.g., Kepler, TESS, NICER, APO3.5m). Through these observational studies, I try to investigate how frequently superflares occur on G,K,M-type stars, how large superflare events occur in the stellar atmosphere (photosphere - choromosphere - corona), and how planets...

Currently working with Dr. Kevin France I’m interested in the different manifestations of magnetic activity in low-mass stars and brown dwarfs and how these change with the physical properties of the stars. This is an especially interesting question at the cross section between stars and brown dwarfs which host a mix of important atmospheric and chemical processes in their cool atmospheres including strong magnetism and cloud formation. Although I primarily...

My research focuses on supermassive black hole binaries and the low-frequency gravitational waves they produce. I am a member of the North American Nanohertz Gravitational Wave Observatory ( NANOGrav ). NANOGrav is a pulsar timing array: a Galactic-scale gravitational wave observatory, which uses long-term, high-precision monitoring of millisecond pulsars to search for nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves. Currently, I am working with Dr. Julie Comerford to combine electromagnetic observations of galaxy mergers...

Currently working with Dr. Ann-Marie Madigan I study the evolution of the internal kinematics of globular clusters with N-body simulations. With many observational studies coming out showing that globular clusters are more kinematically complex than their traditional picture, my goal is to create a theoretical framework to help connect these observations to the cluster's dynamical history.

My research focuses on stellar activity and its effect on exoplanets. I use the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the UV spectra of nearby exoplanet host stars, primarily M dwarfs. UV observations reveal information about magnetic activity on stars as well as measure the high-energy radiation observation of orbiting exoplanets. UV light and its variability in time strongly affects exoplanet atmospheres through heating and mass loss, photochemistry, and likely prebiotic...
