Research Assistant at the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute,

Pasadena, CA, USA
Welcome to my home page! I am currently a research assistant at the
NASA Exoplanet Science Insitute, working on the Kepler Follow-Up Observation
Program. We are coodinating and carrying out some of the follow-up observations
of Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), many of which extrasolar planet candidates
discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
As for my background, I have many years of experience studying young stars and
their circumstellar material, mainly at infrared wavelengths; it is in these
protoplanetary disks that planets are thought to form.
I have been in Los Angeles since February 2006,
and it looks like it will be my home for several years (maybe decades?) to come...
