<h2 class="major">About Me</h2>
<p> Hi there! Welcome to my personal, semi-academic home page. I am a staff scientist at LANL (mostly working on computational physics) and was volunteered to be the Deputy Director of the Center for Theoretical Astrophysics. Assume that this website is permanently under construction and may be out of date.<br /><br />
In December 2021, I converted to permanent staff at <a target="_blank" href="https://www.lanl.gov/">Los Alamos National Laboratory</a> in Los Alamos, New Mexico. From August 2020 to December 2021, I was a Metropolis Postdoctoral Fellow in the <a target="_blank" href="https://ccsweb.lanl.gov/astro/index.html/">Center for Theoretical Astrophysics</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.lanl.gov/org/ddste/aldsc/computer-computational-statistical-sciences/computational-physics-methods/index.php">CCS-2</a> at LANL, where I collaborated with Chris Fryer and Jenn Donley. I received my <a target="_blank" href="https://repository.arizona.edu/handle/10150/642017">PhD</a> in 2020 from the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.as.arizona.edu/">University of Arizona</a> where I worked with the amazing <a target="_blank" href="https://lavinia.as.arizona.edu/~kkratter/Home.html">Dr. Kaitlin Kratter</a>.<br /><br />
All of my wide-ranging <a href="research.html">astronomy research interests</a>—from Pluto to planetary dynamics to star formation—stem from a long-lived fascination with binaries.
I enjoy applying new and different techniques to data to help us extract the most information possible. Most recently in astronomy, I've been exploring how we can learn more about the evolution of dense cores in simulations and how new computational techniques may allow us to learn more about planet(esimals), their orbits, and their formation.</p>

<!--<h2 class="major">Tempus adipiscing</h2>-->
<p>I received a PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics in 2020 from the University of Arizona. I graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2014 with undergraduate
degrees in Physics and Astronomy. I've always been passionate about science communication and education.<br /><br />

<h2 class="major">Outreach and Teaching</h2>
<p>I have always been an advocate for science communication and outreach. Astronomy, in my opinion, is the best "gateway science". The night sky and its contents are a shared experience across language, culture, and education.
Therefore, I strive to make astronomy interesting and accessible to everyone. I am especially passionate about (re)igniting an interest
in astronomy, physics, and math for teens and adults.
