Welcome! I'm Aida ("eye-duh")
I work at the intersection of exoplanets and galactic archaeology

I use data-centric/ML techniques to extract information on stars and their planets from large-scale surveys (e.g., Gaia, SDSS-V). I'm interested in how planet formation and evolution are dictated by Galactic-scale effects, within the Milky Way and beyond.

I grew up in Salem, Oregon. I was an undergrad at Yale (B.S., Physics, 2015), a graduate student at Caltech (Ph.D., Planetary Science, 2023), and a Kalbfleisch Postdoctoral Fellow at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) (2023-2024) before starting my current position.

This is my cat, Interstellar Medium ("Izzy").
