My research focuses on the formation and evolution of planetary systems, with the specific goal of understanding the factors that determine whether a system can form habitable planets and what the characteristics of these planets will be.
My primary research avenues are two-pronged: simulating terrestrial planet formation with increasing chemical and dynamical complexity, while improving observations of exo-planets and protoplanetary disks to constrain their properties. Descriptions of current and past research projects can be found on the research pages listed on the left.
