About Me

I am a fourth year graduate student in the Astronomy Department at Caltech working with Shri Kulkarni, Kareem El-Badry, and Tom Prince. I’m also fortunate to be an NSF Graduate Fellow and a Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellow.

I work on discovering and characterizing accreting binary stars: from the highly magnetic to the ultracompact, and even on stellar mass black holes. My work primarily relies on a multiwavelength crossmatch between X-rays from the SRG/eROSITA mission and optical data from the Zwicky Transient Facility, though I also use data from other X-ray, optical, and radio telescopes.

I’m originally from the town (small city) of Salinas, California and then completed my undergraduate education in the Physics Department at Stanford.
