Graduate Student @ Princeton University
I'm an Astrophysics PhD student at Princeton University, supported by an NSERC Graduate Fellowship. I study (exo)planets, working to discover them, measure their properties, and probe the physical processes by which they form and evolve. Before graduate school, I studied Physics and Mathematics at the University of Toronto on a Schulich Leader Scholarship. If you’d like to connect, feel free to reach out!
There is now a large population of known exoplanet systems. I’m interested in leveraging a variety of tools (including numerical simulations, dynamics theory, and statistics) to draw conclusions about the formation and subsequent evolution of these planetary systems.
Many open questions remain in planet formation. Specific interests include understanding the outcomes of the giant impact phase of planet formation, as well as the formation of planetary systems trapped in chains of resonances.
I’m also interested in understanding the dynamics that underpin the evolution of planetary systems, particularly dynamical instability (i.e., why multiplanet systems come undone) and the rotation of giant planets.
