Hello! I'm a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern Queensland, working at the intersection of astronomical instrumentation, CubeSats, and exoplanet science. My research involves designing and testing space-based instruments, developing small-satellite mission concepts, and exploring innovative techniques for detecting and characterizing planets beyond our Solar System.
