I'm a PhD Candidate at the University of Arizona's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, funded by NASA through the FINESST program. My research uses the James Webb Space Telescope to study how protoplanetary disks evolve and disperse—processes that determine which planetary systems can form giant planets like Jupiter.
From discovering the first spatially resolved photoevaporative wind to revealing the nested structure of MHD disk winds, my work is advancing our understanding of planet formation. I'm passionate about making astronomy accessible and inspiring the next generation of scientists.
