Research
I study the nature of extrasolar planets, how they form, and how they evolve. My work spans a variety of topics, including protoplanetary disks, planet formation, and planetary atmospheres. I am particularly interested in using the detailed evolution of small particles to interpret observational data and understand planetary evolution.
