my last phd thesis paper is now accepted to ApJ and is on the arXiv today! arxiv.org/abs/2510.11021
We simulate the PDS 70 exoplanet system's future using hydrodynamic + n-body simulations involving the disk and the two planets to see how its orbital architecture evolves! 🪐🪐

On The Orbital Evolution of Multiple Wide Super-Jupiters: How Disk Migration and Dispersal Shape the Stability of The PDS 70 System
Direct imaging has revealed exoplanet systems hosting multiple wide-orbit Super-Jupiters, where planet-planet interactions can shape their long-term dynamical evolution. These strong perturbations may...

I’m thrilled to share that I will be an EXP Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrophysics at Caltech 🥹🥹🦫🦫
I will continue working on the direct imaging of exoplanets. So excited I get to continue doing what I love while staying in my beloved Southern California 🫶🪐🔭

Look at those two spiral galaxies. Two Milky Ways. Two hundreds of billions of stars and planets. Two homes.

Very excited about this paper led by Ilyse Clark resolving an extragalactic, low metallicity photodissociation region for the first time! 5x more CO-dark H2 column than the comparable Milky Way PDR! arxiv.org/abs/2504.06247
The Resolved Structure of a Low Metallicity Photodissociation Region
Photodissociation Regions (PDRs) are key to understanding the feedback processes that shape interstellar matter in galaxies. One important type of PDR is the interface between HII regions and molecula...

feeling accomplished because I found the two major questions my phd thesis is trying to answer in a way that everything seems related. It only took four years and six months, but I guess it's good it happened before my defense?

actually so sad that Michelle Trachtenberg passed away :( when I was 10 I watched ice princess and that’s what got me into physics and ice skating which are both things I pursued even as an adult…. She unironically inspired me to be where I am now. RIP Michelle
