Researching Exoplanet Atmospheres with high resolution near-infrared spectroscopy at the UT Austin Department of Astronomy

NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA, USA

I recently started a new job at the Kepler/K2 Guest Observer (GO) office! My role involves extracting and curating useful scientific information from the Kepler Spacecraft's high precision photometer, and supporting the community in our mission to understand the universe through the minute temporal variations of starlight. I look forward to seeing my work.

I am inferring the properties of stars based on their infrared spectra. See my recent paper in the Astrophysical Journal for more info!

Beijing City, China

My research centers around measuring the fundamental stellar properties of young stars. I am leveraging data from the high-resolution spectrograph IGRINS, which employs an echelle grating I fabricated as a graduate student. I am using a forward-modeling approach to infer simultaneously the intrinsic stellar properties, instrumental calibration parameters.

Austin, Texas

I worked on data-intensive observational astronomy projects and optical device development projects. The common theme among these projects was the importance of spectroscopy for interpreting the properties of stars.My device development projects centered on work with the Jaffe Silicon Diffractive Optics Group which custom makes diffraction gratings out of.

Pasadena, CA

I applied electron beam lithography technology at the JPL Microdevices Laboratory. I designed an fabricated high performance silicon diffractive optical devices for astronomical and earth science applications. Specifically the silicon immersion gratings are being used in ground- and space- based spectrographs. This technology provides very high (1 part per.

Brookline, MA, USA

I worked as an educator at the Clay Center Observatory concurrently with and immediately after my undergraduate degree. The Clay Center is equipped with a fast tracking robotic DFM Engineering 0.6 meter diameter telescope that we used to image the fast-moving Space Shuttle in orbit around the Earth. I taught Brookline Adult and Community Education classes.
