Welcome to my web page! I am an ITC fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Prior to moving to Boston, I earned my PhD from the University of California, Santa Cruz where my thesis advisor was Mark Krumholz.
I am interested in a wide variety of topics in astrophysics, including understanding the origin of galaxy scaling relations, feedback and star formation in dwarf galaxies, the microphysics of multicomponent fluids (gas+stars, gas+dust, cold gas+warm gas), and even brown dwarfs! Take a look at this page on my ENZO simulations of isolated galaxies or my ever-improving radially-resolved semi-analytic galaxy evolution code GIDGET.
And here is a brief CV.
