Bio

I am an extragalactic observational astronomer whose research focuses on the kinematics and dynamics of galaxies, non‐circular gas motions, galactic outflows, and the warm and cold interstellar medium. I develop software for kinematic modeling of spectroscopic observations, including three‐dimensional spectral‐line data. Research experience includes integral‐field spectroscopy, large galaxy surveys, and analysis of optical and millimeter observations.
