Assistant Professor

University of Wisconsin-Madison


ADS Listing
(Updates coming in Spring 2026) I'm an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  I mainly study low mass galaxy formation and evolution using data from JWST, the Very Large Telescope, and the Hubble Space Telescope. In particular, I am involved with large surveys using NIRSpec on JWST, MUSE, an Integral Field Unit on the VLT, as well as the 3D-HST survey.

I am an active member of the GTO team for NIRSpec. (More NIRSpec content coming soon!)

I am also involved with the LEGA-C Survey (also using data from the VLT) and have estensive experience with instruments at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT).

I previously did my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy working with Hans-Walter Rix and Arjen van der Wel, and was a NOVA postdoctoral research fellow at Leiden Observatory.
