About Me
I am an ESA/AURA Astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and a member of the JWST/Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and the US-MIRI Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) teams. Prior to 2025, I was an associate research professor at the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, where I spent a decade planning and executing multiple JWST observing programs and contributing to the JWST ground-based testing and commissioning efforts.
My research is focused on disentangling the internal and external drivers of galaxy evolution
from our perspective of the infrared Universe. I specialize in studies of galaxy clusters,
cosmic dust, and Active Galactic Nuclei.
