I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the East Tennessee State University working with Prof. Richard Ignace. My research interests focus on the physics of stars from their evolution to their dynamic structures (pulsation and mass loss) to their radiation (stellar atmospheres and polarized light).
My history starts in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada where I grew up, but I did my undergrad in Halifax NS at St. Mary’s University in Astrophysics. I then did my PhD at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada where I worked on stellar pulsation and atmospheres. You can find my dissertation here. After my PhD, I spent three years as a research fellow at the Argelander Institute for Astronomy at the University of Bonn working in the Stellar Physics group.
