I have moved to Cornell!
I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Astronomy at Cornell University. I study stars, their atmospheres, their activity and their planets with Prof. James Lloyd, working on TEDI, the Triple-Spec Externally Dispersed Interferometer. I am also a member of the California & Carnegie Planet Search. I grew up near Bothell, WA, graduated from Brookline High School in 1995 and the Boston University Astronomy Department in 1999, where my thesis adviser was Dan Clemens. I finished my PhD in 2006 with Geoff Marcy at UC Berkeley. My thesis included studies of stellar activity levels, their impact on radial velocity measurements, analyses of weak and long-period signals of exoplanets, and the Catalog of Nearby Exoplanets. In 2006 I was married to Julia Miller Kregenow, who finished her PhD in astrophysics at Berkeley in May 2007.
