Astrochemistry

Caltech

I am an astrochemist and doctoral candidate at Caltech. In addition to exploring the invisible Universe with radio telescopes, I am passionate about effective teaching and science communication. When I’m not working on research or teaching, you can find me at a coffee shop, a National Park with my family, or creating art.
