I currently work in the gravitational microlensing group as a research assistant. My work focuses on galactic bulge stellar populations in the proposed Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) microlensing field. I also work on high angular resolution observations of microlensing targets with the Keck-II Adaptive Optics (AO) Telescope. This follow-up analysis yields direct mass measurements of host(lens) stars and their planetary companions.
