Since the fall of 2008 I have been an Assistant Professor at the University of Kansas in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.  Prior to coming to Kansas I was a Leo Goldberg Fellow at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson, AZ and a postdoctoral researcher at the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Germany.

My research focus is the growth of mass in galaxies over cosmic time and how this growth is influenced by galaxy environment.
