I'm a recent PhD graduate from the Department of Astronomy at Boston University. As a grad student, I worked with Professor Catherine Espaillat and several awesome grad students on protoplanetary disks, young stars, and stellar accretion. My own work has been somewhat split between two topics: 

• FUor Objects - Very young stars that have recently undergone massive accretion outbursts. These bursts can have a profound impact on the surrounding disk & environment. 

• T Tauri Stars - Young (slightly older than FUor Objects), low-mass stars - think proto-suns. They show a wide array of variability, primarily due to uneven accretion from the disk.

Check out the full range of my work under CV and Publications.

In my spare time, I'm a big baseball fan, frequent the movie theater, go bowling from time to time, and often wander around Boston on my bike. I also follow science & tech, play the occasional video game, and enjoy baking.
