having a blast at #GiantMagellan2023 this week!! today I gave a talk about my work on the FUSION of ground and space data for atmospheric retrieval. here's the gist: #Exoplanets

*patrick bateman voice* impressive… let’s see the corner plot

I’ll be honest I think about the mongols a lot more than I think about the romans

I ignore all emails that open with "to whom it may concern" bc I simply do not partake in concerning. I am an unconcerned individual

9/10 men believe they can lead a horse to water and make it drink

you'd think I'm a xenobotanist for how many times I've written "exoplant"

Paper day!!! My first EVER paper is now up on arxiv. I use the SIMBA simulation to determine the sensitivity of tSZ signals to AGN feedback at varying redshifts and observational resolutions. This work represents the first two years of grad school and I’m so proud of it!

stopping myself from regressing into self destructive behaviors by claiming “but then the terrorists win”

I think we should phase out “order of magnitude” and bring back “tenfold”

for halloween this year I am Tired

grad students after telling you about their research measuring the 5th moment of the glorbon using aximetric microscopy instead of luvimescent spectroscopy

“Did you or did you not claim that everybody was kung fu fighting?” “Many people were indeed partaking in-” “That’s not what I asked doctor!! How do you expect me to believe EVERYBODY was kung fu fighting??”

inside you are two wolves. due to the lack of universal healthcare it will cost you $120,000 to remove them.

My first paper is now on the arXiv! Enjoy exoplanet spectroscopy but can’t choose between using ground or space telescopes? Why not both!? The two are complementary and combining their data can boost your inference power, as we show here for WASP-77A b arxiv.org/abs/2312.13069

grad students be like damn it smells like your thesis about in here

Four Filipino high school and undergraduates were selected to fly their winning zero-gravity experiment in Barcelona! Astronomy and space opportunities are hard to come by in the global south, and now they need our help to cover the costs of their trip! gofund.me/fbffae65

My latest paper is on the arXiv! We take a look at the dayside of ultra hot Jupiter WASP-121 b with IGRINS on Gemini South (rip) and show you can simultaneously measure both the C/O and refractory/volatile ratios with a single instrument arxiv.org/abs/2410.19017
