I’m a planetary scientist and professor at Olin College.

My research applies new computational techniques to asteroid detection. At Olin I teach courses in statistics, astronomy, and electronics. I am also a science communicator, with a book, podcast, and TED Talk. My pronouns are she/hers.

I wrote a book!

“Asteroid Hunters” is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, as an iBook, and as an audiobook. It has been translated into Portuguese, Chinese, French, Hebrew, and Hungarian.

Podcast

I created Spacepod to give everyone an inside look into space exploration. On the podcast I sit with an expert guest, we share a drink, and we talk about their corner of the cosmos. Spacepod reaches listeners from all around the globe.
