Welcome!I am research faculty in the Astronomy Department at the University of Michigan.Â
My research interests include: Detection methods and surveys for exomoons, exosatellites and exorings orbiting exoplanets, free-floating planets and brown dwarfs, direct detection and characterization of cold (T < 300K) nearby exoplanets (especially those orbiting white dwarf), instrumentation, exoplanet atmospheres and weather, biosignature detection and demographics. My group primarily uses space-based observatories (JWST and Roman) and develops methods for future observatories (such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory).
