Greetings!
I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Washington, working with Julianne Dalcanton's and Ben Williams's research group.
I'm interested in how galaxies form and evolve, from the smallest dwarf galaxies to large galaxies like the Milky Way. I use the gas content, resolved stellar populations, and satellite populations of galaxies roughly the size of our Milky Way to understand how they change over time, especially as a result of their interactions with other galaxies.
