Research Interests:
White Dwarf Planetary Systems
Elemental compositions of extrasolar planetesimals
Formation and evolution of rocky planets and exoplanets
High-resolution spectroscopy and imaging
What are the bulk elemental constituents of rocky exoplanets? Is the composition of Earth unusual? What evidence do we have of processes important for life, such as core-mantle-crust differentiation and the presence of water in extrasolar systems?
Our approach to these questions involves a unique and powerful cosmic laboratory: Polluted White Dwarfs. Read more at the Research tab above.
