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 optical and infrared data from Keck Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope 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)
