Imaging Planet Birthplaces
We are Principal Investigators of multiple programs on ALMA. We use interferometry to capture high-resolution images of rings, gaps, and spirals carved by newborn planets.
Tracking Volatile Chemistry
Using JWST and ALMA, we map the distribution of water, CO, and organic molecules to understand the chemical inventory available for forming habitable worlds.
Connecting Data to Models
We bridge the gap between observations and physical and chemical evolution in planet formation. We use sophisticated physical and chemical models (e.g., DALI) and radiative transfer codes (e.g., RADMC-3D) to translate photons into insights on physical and chemical processes in planet formation.
