I am an associate professor in the Department of Astronomy and Astrobiology Program at the University of Washington. I am also a member of NASA's Virtual Planetary Lab and the University of Washington's Data Science program. I study the evolution of stellar and planetary systems by linking internal, atmospheric, and orbital models, with emphasis on planetary habitability.

I am the lead developer of VPLanet, a software package that simulates many of the processes that affect planetary habitability. the code is open source with many examples, so you can start simulating potentially habitable worlds, too.
