I am a dynamical modeler with a strong background in observational astronomy. I study the orbits of planets and how they evolve over time. By studying the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects and carefully taking into account observational biases, we can learn about how the giant planets migrated in the early days of the Solar System. In exoplanet systems, we can use the structure of debris disks (dusty disks around stars made by colliding asteroids) to find exoplanets that would otherwise be invisible.
I'm co-PI of the Classical and Large-a Solar System (CLASSY) Survey on CFHT, attempting to discover some of the smallest and most distant TNOs yet known.
Lately I've spent a lot of time thinking about, modelling, and measuring artificial satellites in low Earth orbit, which are increasing terrifyingly quickly, changing the night sky worldwide.
