Research Interests: My primary research interests are in infrared and panchromatic studies of core-collapse supernovae and related transients, massive star evolution, and mass loss. My work spans progenitor identification and characterization, circumstellar interaction, dust formation, and light echoes, using space-based facilities like JWST, Hubble and Spitzer and ground-based surveys. I am also active in time-domain survey infrastructure, currently as a main contributor to RAPID, the prompt difference imaging and alert system for the Roman Space Telescope.
