What do you research?
I study exoplanets – planets that exist outside the solar system, orbiting stars other than the sun.
Why does space inspire you?
I’m inspired by space because, as a field of study, it addresses what I believe to be the most fascinating scientific question – why are we here?
If you were a celestial body which celestial body would you be and why?
A molecular gas cloud is a stretch for a celestial body, but I’d like to be one because I think stellar nurseries are cool!
