Hello! I am a Ph.D Candidate and NSF Graduate Research Fellow. Broadly, my research focuses on the impacts of elemental abundances on planet formation and evolution. Currently, I work with Jessie Christiansen (NASA/IPAC) and Prof. Ji Wang on planet occurrence rates v.s. metallicity. I also work with Wendy Panero to constrain mass-radius relationships for magma ocean planets. When I'm not doing research, I am 1/4 of a grad-student lead astronomy podcast, astro [sound] bites, which brings breaks down current astronomy research for undergrads and the public.
