my last phd thesis paper is now accepted to ApJ and is on the arXiv today! arxiv.org/abs/2510.11021
We simulate the PDS 70 exoplanet system's future using hydrodynamic + n-body simulations involving the disk and the two planets to see how its orbital architecture evolves! 🪐🪐
you will queen 🥹💕 you got this!
I’m thrilled to share that I will be an EXP Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrophysics at Caltech 🥹🥹🦫🦫
I will continue working on the direct imaging of exoplanets. So excited I get to continue doing what I love while staying in my beloved Southern California 🫶🪐🔭

I'm advertising for a postdoc! Come work with me in sunny SoCal on the Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey Project Infrastructure Team. You'll help build the pipeline for Roman* occurrence rates.
*Launches NEXT YEAR!

Look at those two spiral galaxies. Two Milky Ways. Two hundreds of billions of stars and planets. Two homes.
*slams fists onto table* DAMMIT the universe is SO COOL.
Yesss Doctor!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
im a doctor ahhh 🥹🥹 got hooded for my PhD in astrophysics today it’s so unreal!!
omg really? loll
thank you 🥹🥹
hi 🥹
defended my thesis and officially have a PhD in Astrophysics 🥹🥹
5 years of hard work, dedication and lots of support from my advisor and the department 🫶
so grateful for what’s been and what’s to come
two things I keep telling myself that may be helpful: 1. It is perfectly normal to have bad semesters. It’s not about how many times you fall but about how many times you get up 2. Astronomy is hard! Nature is complicated - there’s a reason it’s such an active research field :)
thank you!! 😭
thesis sent to committee :O
unreal
Very excited about this paper led by Ilyse Clark resolving an extragalactic, low metallicity photodissociation region for the first time! 5x more CO-dark H2 column than the comparable Milky Way PDR! arxiv.org/abs/2504.06247
kind of relieving that the solar system is also going through it
Hi Barbie! Congrats! 💕💕💕
my last thesis paper in a nutshell
yay @bemiles.bsky.social !!
lol as you shouldddd
omg congrats Abby! Happy to see you in California :D 🎉🎉🎉
omg Caprice that's amazing, congrats!! 🎉
congratulations, that is really awesome! 🎉
alright, they're locked in
terrifying
n-body simulating so hard i can see all the mean motion resonances in my head D:
"wow why is my parallel code still taking so long to run??"
my parallel code:
after doing direct imaging for so long, I think I’ve become the condescending one
I feel like I was waiting for that post today, it’s been a long week
how my last thesis project feels right now
