I am a postdoctoral research associate in Professor Victoria S. Meadows‘ group in the University of Washingtonʼs Department of Astronomy, the UW Astrobiology Program, and the NASA NExSS Virtual Planetary Laboratory. My primary scientific interests are planetary atmospheres, habitability, biosignatures, and the emergence of life. I am also co-authoring a revised edition of the textbook Astrobiology: A Multidisciplinary Approach with Professor Jonathan Lunine. My other passions include photography, writing, public speaking, graphic design, and playing a variety of team sports. I host a podcast called Strange New Worlds, which examines science, technology, and culture through the lens of Star Trek.
