My main interests are in instrumentation and exoplanets. I am the PI of MINERVA, the MINiature Exoplanet RV Array and author of EXOFASTv2, an Differential Evolution MCMC to characterize stellar and planetary systems. I am using it to fit all planet candidates from TESS. I also work on G-CLEF a ~10 cm/s RV instrument for the GMT.

I also created a BJD calculator, to covert observed times to an astrophysically uniformly flowing time.

In my spare time, I like doing astrophotography.

You can see my publications on ADS or google scholar.
