I am an exoplanet observer, focused on studying the atmospheric composition and dynamics of exoplanets of all shapes and sizes. I primarily utilize space-based observatories (JWST, Spitzer, etc.) to look at transiting planets and extract as much information as possible through various data analysis techniques and comparisons to model atmospheres. Before coming to UMD, I served for 8 years in the U.S. Navy as a submarine officer.
