I work on planet formation theory, with a current focus on giant planet formation in a core accretion paradigm. My current work looks at distinctions in the formation of gas giant planets as a result of conditions in their local environment, and how these differences shape the structure and radiative signatures of forming planets.
In addition, I work on characterizing minor planets in the solar system, in particular, exploring models and explanations for their accelerations and origins. Currently, I am working on investigating the “dark comets” that were identified earlier this year. I continue to work on investigating their
