I'm a 2011 TEDGlobal Fellow and a Kepler Postdoctoral Fellow in the Astronomy Department at the University of California Berkeley. I study magnetic activity in the atmospheres of cool stars through both observation and theory. In the links above-right, you'll find information on my current and past research projects, and a list of publications.

I also draw and write comics, and paint. You can see some of my non-work under the Art link in the menu above.
