I’m an astronomer based at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), where I research extrasolar planets and moons. I am currently fulfilling a Carl Sagan Fellowship at the CfA with the Harvard College Observatory.

My research interests include the theory of transiting exoplanets, the development of novel detection techniques, signal detection theory and exomoonology. I also enjoy publicizing science and welcome any questions on my work!
