I am an assistant professor at the University of Florida's Department of Astronomy. My research is focused on massive star and cluster formation, the IMF, turbulence, and the Central Molecular Zone. I am supported by the University of Florida, NSF AST grant 2008101 "How are stellar masses set?", Astropy Moore Foundation Grant "Sustaining and Growing the Astropy Project", NSF CAREER grant 2142300, "Mass Measurements in the Galaxy", and NSF AST grant 2206511, "ACES Galactic Center Mass Flow." I am also supported by the Space Telescope Science Institute through observer support for JWST program 2221. I am a member of the James Webb Space Telescope Users Committee (JSTUC), so please contact me if you have constructive feedback to offer the JWST scientific management. In Spring 2023, I teach Star Formation. News highlights: I've made some data visualizations zooming in to the ACES [WARNING: LARGE!] and ALMA-IMF data sets. Use keyboard arrows or swipe to flick between slides. I'm featured in two Explore videos by the UF museum ALMA-IMF has published its first data release and initial results . We found salt (NaCl and KCl) around the 15 solar mass Orion Source I (and eight others) and CS masers around W51e2e, which have been partly explained and may trace the disk around the most massive YSOs accreting today, which is kept small by 'chaotic', asymmetric inflow. The ALMA development study "Linking CASA to the astropy ecosystem" has resulted in many improvements to the radio-astro-tools suite, especially spectral-cube. Check out our tutorials. In Spring through Summer 2021, I co-hosted a talk series on Star Formation in the CMZ.
