Why Join Us?

We provide a supportive and collaborative environment for young scientists to investigate big questions in planet formation. Group members have direct access to cutting-edge data from ALMA and JWST.

We value independence, creativity, and open communication. We strongly support our students in applying for fellowships (e.g., NSF GRFP) and attending conferences.
