I am soon completing my Ph.D. in Astronomy at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. I have been working with Jonathan Williams and the GASPS team on characterizing the gas and dust content of a group of young stars. These observations, conducted using ground based (sub)millimeter observatories (JCMT, IRAM 30m, and SMA) and the Herschel Space Observatory, allow us to place constraints on the timescale of giant planet formation. In addition, I have recently developed model fitting code to simultaneously use broad band photometry and (sub)millimeter visibilities to automatically determine the geometry of dust disks.
