Gave a talk at #ExoELT on this massive disk colloquially known as Dracula's Chivito and what more we know from Subaru and HST IR data. Had some great feedback and discussion on trying to understand what makes this disk soo "chonky"
And giving a talk at @eso.org is a dream come true!

New paper from my group!
Stars aren’t born alone—they form in massive associations. If we want to understand how stars and planetary systems form, we need to figure out where today’s clusters came from… and where all their long-lost siblings ended up.

Pretty impressive given how JWST design is technically older than a lot of ground based instruments... and given how our whole deal as exoplanet nerds is to get closer to Earth like planets in solar system like config by improving high contrast imaging and hi res spectroscopy.

Adding to the ELT discussion, here's me next to ELT (Oct 2025) to give an idea of the size (I'm 5 ft 2 in tall). I was completely blown away by the sheer largeness of this facility, and can only imagine the amazing science it will be capable of.

It's been 2 weeks since #AO4ELT and must say, a very profound experience in terms of meeting new folks, sharing ideas, having lunch with, and obviously some amazing work in the ELT era presented in talks and posters :)
And obviously, great time at the VLT and ELT sites!

Back to microblogging for a bit. Here's what I'm up to now:
- On the job market looking for positions in AO, esp. a combo of HCI science and instrumentation
- Giving talks at #AO4ELT in Chile and Exo-ELT in Germany
