Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2019, I completed my undergraduate degree in Mathematics (with honors) and Physics & Astronomy at Northwestern University. In 2024, I defended my doctoral dissertation entitled "Unifying Semi-analytical and Numerical Methods for Astrodynamics Applications" at the University of Colorado Boulder under the advising of Professor Daniel J. Scheeres.
