Welcome!

I am a Senior Astrophysicist for the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) – part of the Center for Astrophysics – a Lecturer in the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University, and the Director of the CfA Radio Telescope Data Center.

Our group specializes in measuring the physical, chemical, and dynamical conditions in the disks of gas and dust that orbit young stars. Our goal is to learn about the formation and early evolution of planetary systems. Leveraging our technical expertise in radio interferometry (SMA, ALMA, VLA) and other observations (e.g., JWST), our team has made pioneering contributions at the vanguard of planet formation research. While our work touches on most aspects in the field, we are currently focused on research projects related to these topics: substructures; transport processes; mass budgets; and algorithm/technology development.

Are you a prospective graduate student or postdoctoral fellow interested in joining the group to work on these or similar topics? Please get in touch!
