Research

I'm leading an All-Sky Survey high-resolution spectroscopic Census of nearby K-Dwarfs, the largest of its kind to this date. This effort aims to characterize these stars' fundamental properties, activity levels, ages, and ultimately will help for future studies of the habitability of exoplanets around these stars.
