Robert A. Millikan Fellow at California Institute of Technology

I'm a Robert A. Millikan fellow at Caltech working on the direct imaging of exoplanets, brown dwarfs and debris disks (extra solar analogs to our own Kuiper and asteroid belts). I work on a mix of instrumentation, observation and data analysis. Take a look around the website, and please get in touch if you see anything that interests you!
