I am an Assistant Professor in the Astronomy Department at Yale University. I am an observational astronomer interested in the formation, evolution and destruction of dwarf galaxies. My current work includes observations of ultra-faint galaxies recently discovered in the Local Group. These objects are the least-massive and most dark-matter dominated galaxies in the known Universe, providing significant constraints on galaxy formation processes, cosmology and the nature of dark matter.
