I'm a PhD candidate in the department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz. I work with Jonathan Fortney on the nature of low mass transiting planets, especially those found by Kepler . In particular, I am interested in using models of planet evolution and mass loss to understand the formation and evolution of populations of sub-Neptunes and super-Earths.
