I am currently a postdoc researcher at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and I will join the University of Rochester as an Assistant Professor in 2025. I am interested in exoplanets and brown dwarfs, as well as their formation and atmospheres. I conduct surveys to search for giant planets and brown dwarfs that are either wide-orbit companions to stars or members of nearby associations. I construct a large, well-defined sample of these benchmarks and then use them to explore the formation of the outer architecture of extrasolar planetary systems and to test our understanding of ultracool atmospheres.
