My research centers on weak gravitational lensing in galaxy surveys, namely SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) and DES (Dark Energy Survey). Galaxy - galaxy lensing is a powerful and versatile tool that can illuminate many problems in cosmology and galaxy formation. Recent and ongoing work focus on observational constraints on disk galaxy formation and evolution from combined photometry, lensing, and kinematics.

Ongoing Scientific Projects:
 
Talks, Lectures, & Workshops

 
Currently in Committees
