Research OSIRIS Imager I have worked on various aspects of the OSIRIS imager, primarily on the design of the Projects pupil masks and the H2-RG detector. I have extensively tested and helped update the control software for the detector.

Debris Disk Modelling using Gemini Planet Imager Using primarily polarization data I have done extractions of geometry and phase curves of the HR4796A and HD32297 disks. I have further done dust modelling on the extracted phase curves.

Python Karhunen-Loeve Image Processing I have contributed code to the public PyKLIP code base that allows for the forward modelling of disks.

Upgrade of the 24-in UCLA Telescope and Solar Telescope I have recoded the control software in Java for a solar telescope to work with Galil motor controllers. I have additionally installed these motor con- trollers on both telescopes. I have also designed and fabricated parts for this installation.

Analysis of the Eta Corvi disk using Herschel and Spitzer Using Herschel and Spitzer data I have done geometric and SED modelling of the Eta Corvi .

Machine-Learned ASAS Classification Catalogue Using semi-supervised machine-learned clustering algorithms and anomaly detection, I analyzed variable phase curves.
