I&#8217;m particularly interested in volatile loss due to thermal hydrodynamic atmospheric escape, in oxygenated atmopsheres and oxygen as a false positive biosignature, in the evolution of outgassed atmospheres, and in the promising targets of the TRAPPIST-1 system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before coming to Seattle, I grew up in New Hampshire then moved to Flagstaff, Arizona to complete my bachelors degree in Astronomy and Physics.
