My research focuses on characterizing the atmospheres of low mass stars and brown dwarfs using ground- and spaced-based photometry and spectroscopy and state of the art atmospheric models.    I also develop and write data reduction algorithms for near-infrared spectrographs.  Please see my Research Page for more information.
