The infrared is a rich regime of the electromagnetic spectrum host to bright signatures of star-formation, supermassive black hole accretion, and the molecular gas in galaxies. I use telescopes like JWST and ALMA to spectroscopically and photometrically characterize these galaxy components. By targeting galaxies near and far I work with my collaborators to understand how over time cold gas is transformed into stars and supermassive black holes, and how in turn, these energetic processes shape the future of gas consumption.

I am a science affiliate for The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics, or PRIMA for short. PRIMA was recently selected by NASA for Phase A study, which means this cryogenically-cooled, far-infrared space observatory could be launched in the next decade. PRIMA would fill the observing gap between JWST's longest wavelength coverage and ALMA's shortest.
