Planet-Planet Confusion: Research into quantifying and reducing confusion among exoplanets detected via direct imaging methods
Coronagraph Simulations: Point-spread function (PSF) simulations and other code development in support of the Webb coronagraphy pipeline and exposure time calculator.
Center of Curvature Interferometry: Pipeline development, analysis, and data collection support of a high-speed (6kHz) metrology device for the Webb Optical Telescope Element.
Hubble Focus Monitoring: Bi-monthly phase retrieval in support of Hubble focus maintenance.
Active Galactic Nuclei: Investigated the robustness of optical continuum flux as a measure of quasar central engine power as part of an ongoing project aimed at placing constraints on quasar jet orientation.
Miniature Tether Electrodynamics Experiment: Numerically characterized the on-orbit behaviors of a coupled cubesat, femtosat, and non-rigid conducting tether for the MiTEE Mission
