I'm interested in the life cycle of comets, from activation in the centaur region through to their deactivation and dormancy among the near-Earth objects. My work primarily uses imaging and spectroscopic observations of comets, centaurs, and comet-candidates at optical and near-infrared wavelengths with ground-based telescopes, interpreted with help from laboratory experiements and orbital analyses.
I plan to receive my PhD in Planetary Science in 2021, and I received by B.S. in Physics and Astronomy from the Universiy of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2017.
