I'm a PhD student at Rice University, in the EEPS (Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences) Department. I graduated magna cum laude from Ohio State University with a B.S. in Physics and Astronomy, and a minor in computer science.
During my time in undergrad, I researched terrestrial planet formation with Dr. Seth Jacobson at Michigan State University. I was working on quantifying debris production in imperfect accretion scenarios. For a formal discussion of this research, I have a paper in prep. I am currently working with Dr. Andre Izidoro to further investigate different aspects of Solar System formation.
