Ph: (608) 890-3879
Office: 6295 Chamberlin Hall
Research Interests:
I am interested in dynamical processes occurring in stellar interiors and in how stars generate large-scale magnetic fields in their convection zones.
Biography:
I recieved my B.S. in Physics from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA in 2003. Following this, I completed my PhD on "Convection and Dynamo Action in Rapidly Rotating Suns" in 2009 at University of Colorado in Boulder with Juri Toomre. Since October 2009 I have been an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Astronomy at University of Wisconsin in Madison. Here I am also supported by the Center for Magnetic Self-Organization in Laboratory and Astrophysical Plasmas.
