.I'm a graduate student in astronomy & astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
I am interested in cosmology and galaxy formation and evolution. My current research studies the manner in which galaxies acquire mass via mergers vs. smooth gaseous infall and examines the resulting impacts on the star formation rate, galactic morphologies, and stellar chemodynamics.
I did my undergraduate work at Caltech, where I graduated in astrophysics with a B.S. with honors. As an undergraduate, I did research on potentially hazardous asteroids, searches for optical transients, and microwave foregrounds.
