I am an Associate Scientist at Caltech/IPAC.
I am currently assigned to the Science Support Center (SSC) for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
My scientific research has centered on variety of topics that include: the chemical and kinematic characterization of stellar populations in the Milky Way and Local Volume; the study of chemical evolution and nucleosynthetic mechanisms in stellar populations; and the detailed determination of fundamental atomic and molecular inputs for stellar analysis.
Over the course of my career, I have acquired expertise in several programming languages (high proficiency: Python, Fortran, IDL; moderate proficiency: SQL, R) and a wealth of experience with various software.
I am the primary developer of MOOG_SCAT, a radiative transfer code that incorporates coherent, isotropic scattering.
