Intro

Hello! I am a 3rd year Physics & Astronomy Graduate Student at the University of California - Davis. My work involves cosmological galaxy simulations (FIRE-2) which include stellar feedback processes.

I received a dual Bachelor's in Science in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, where I graduated from in 2019.

Outside of my love for space, I enjoy calligraphy, tennis, videogames, socializing, and whittling.

Research

Elemental Abundances of Simulated Low-Mass Galaxies

For research, I previously focused on the elemental abundances of stars in low-mass ('dwarf') galaxies simulated using FIRE-2.

In my most recent project, I identified the 'elemental abundance trends', measured in [Mg/Fe] versus [Fe/H], of several galaxies.

I found imprints of bursty star formation and satellite accretion in the present day elemental abundance distributions. These features could be resolved in nearby dwarf galaxies through upcoming spectroscopic surveys like JWST and the ELTs.

This work culminated in a first-author publication, accepted by MNRAS in March 2022. The paper can be found on ArXiv or downloaded below.

My next project involves the new 'age-tracer' module in FIRE-2 and FIRE-3, which allows me to retroactively test multiple models in rates for core-collapse supernovae (CCSN), type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), and stellar winds. In doing so, I can see the direct effect on elemental abundances within a galaxy without needing to re-run a simulation with altered models.
