Interests
My research focuses on stellar evolution and determining abundances in stellar atmospheres using high and low resolution spectroscopy. I currently work on designing and testing the reduction and analysis pipeline for the 4MOST spectroscopic survey. I am also interested in evolutionary changes in the surface abundances of low mass red giant branch stars, and the light element abundance populations in Galactic globular clusters, especially, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sodium.
