I’m an astrochemist and currently a 51 Pegasi b Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. I combine laboratory experiments, astronomical observations, and theoretical modeling to trace the chemical evolution of material from interstellar clouds to planet-forming disks. I am particularly interested in interstellar ices and in how their chemical evolution shapes the composition of planetary building blocks.
