Assistant Professor of Astronomy, San Diego State University
I am an Assistant Professor in the Astronomy department at San Diego State University. Previously, I was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Astronomy & Astrophysics and UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UC San Diego and a NASA Einstein and ITC Post-doctoral Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in physics and astrophysics at UC Berkeley and my M.S. and Ph.D. in astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz. My research interests are in theoretical and computational astrophysics with an emphasis on star formation. I use numerical simulations to study the formation of massive stars and massive star clusters. I am particularly interested in how stellar feedback — the injection of energy and momentum by young stars — shapes the interstellar medium and galaxies.
