My primary research interests are in exoplanet discovery and characterization. I'm looking to combine my talents in physics, computer science and data analysis to discover new worlds and create new insights.
My final-year thesis involves the discovery of a Jupiter-sized exoplanet orbiting a F-type star. The findings are pending review for publishing.
