Biography
I am interested in how the universe developed its present-day chemical complexity from the primordial soup of hydrogen and helium left over by the Big Bang. To understand this intricate process, I look for signatures of chemical elements in ancient stars that preserve the evolutionary record of our galaxy, dating billions of years into the past.
