I am currently an Asst. Research Scientist. My expertise is in gravitational microlensing by many different types of objects (stars, bound planets, free-floating planets, white dwarfs, black holes). My career so far has focused on high-resolution imaging of these microlensing targets with large ground- and space-based observatories like Keck, HST, and JWST. Much of my work in the 2020's has been in support of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and particularly one survey that is being conducted on Roman; The Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). In my spare time I enjoy live sports, playing chess, and showing my wife funny memes.
