I am an infrared spectroscopist who studies the early lives of stars and planetary systems seeking to understand pre-main sequence stellar evolution and the formation of planets. I build high-resolution infrared spectrographs. My group has also pioneered the manufacture and use of silicon immersion gratings for high resolution spectroscopy.
