I am a composer, programmer, and researcher working between sound, astrobiology, software. I currently serve as the director of Project Viriditas, an astrobiology research group at MIT, where I research the effect of ionizing radiation on the growth of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium in Martian regolith simulant for use as an off-planet construction material.

My music practice engages acoustic and electronic sound, composition, software and electrical engineering to explore new modes of human and other-than-human interaction. My recent compositions include "Bona Dea", a vocal cyborg comprising 12 singers networked by live pulse data and haptic feedback; and "Works for Strings and Datura Innoxia in Lunar Regolith Simulant", a set of string pieces I wrote to catalyze the germination of California-native flowers growing in synthetic lunar rocks.

I currently work as a software engineer at FactSet, where I help to maintain and develop Quant Research Environment, a data science platform and toolkit. I've worked in consulting and curatorial capacities for arts institutions including National Sawdust, Red Bull Arts NY and Kosmica Institute. I've taught music and chess at schools and programs throughout the U.S. I completed a certificate in full stack web development from UCLA extension in 2020. I attended the University of Michigan from 2016-2018 as a double major in religion and jazz piano. I recently completed a BM at the New England Conservatory of Music, where I studied composition and electroacoustic music with John Mallia and Efstratios Minakakis.

I am passionate about biotechnology that enables the human habitation of outer space, and excited about the prospects of computational modeling to understand (and architect) loop-closure in terrestrial and extraterrestrial ecologies.
