Research
Currently, I am studying under Dr. Alice Shapley at UCLA. My work aims to determine the role that star-forming galaxies play during the epoch of reionization. I work with narrowband and broadband optical and infrared data to measure the Lyman continuum escape fraction and study the galactic processes that govern the escape of ionizing radiation.

From 2008-2009, I studied nearby type Ia supernovae under Dr. Alex Filippenko at UC Berkeley. (Link: Berkeley Supernova Ia Program I)
In 2007, I studied open star clusters under Dr. Constantine Deliyannis at University of Indiana through the NSF REU program. (Link: WIYN Open Cluster Study)
