Hello There!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at UCI, working in the field of exoplanets. Currently, I use data from the Subaru telescope, together with a data analysis technique called kernel phase interferometry to search for signs of young exoplanets in the process of formation. My interests include exoplanet discovery, instrumentation and planet formation.
