With a BSc in Electrical Engineering and a BSc in Physics, I have always found astronomical instrumentation to be a perfect match to my interests and skills. In general my current instrumentation focus is on the development and implentation of new polarimetric modes for the characterizaition of exoplanets and debris disks. In the pages below, I give some more details on my current and past instrumentation projects.

In addition to the projects below I am also currently working on implementing a new polarimetry mode for the Keck NIRC2 infrared imager and planning for direct imaging instrumentation for thirty-meter class telescopes.
