Tracing routes from source systems such as Alpha Centauri into the Solar System.
Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Institute for Earth and Space Exploration.
Using orbital dynamics to link source regions, travel times, and where material might be observed.
Open to research collaborations and postdoctoral opportunities in astronomy and planetary science.
Research Themes
From stellar neighborhoods to detectable visitors.
This site brings together my work on interstellar transfer, likely source systems, and the observations needed to test those models.
Theme 01
Interstellar transfer pathways
Modeling how material ejected from nearby systems can reach the Solar System on meaningful timescales.
Read the research overviewTheme 02
Debris-disk source systems
Examining nearby systems such as Beta Pictoris, Vega, Fomalhaut, and Epsilon Eridani as possible present-day sources.

These papers trace the current direction of the research, from the Alpha Centauri case study to the broader source catalogue.
A Catalogue of Interstellar Material Delivery From Nearby Debris Disks
A broader catalogue of nearby debris-disk systems that may be sending material into the Solar System today.
Open PDFA Case Study of Interstellar Material Delivery: α Centauri
A closer look at Alpha Centauri as a nearby source, showing that transfer on relatively short astronomical timescales is possible.
