About Me
I am a recent graduate of the University of Arizona, where I earned a B.S. in Astronomy in 2024 with minors in Planetary Sciences, Physics, and Geosciences. My research focuses on the orbital dynamics of the outer solar system, and I am currently based in Tucson, Arizona.
As an undergraduate researcher at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, I studied the dynamical structure of the trans-Neptunian region using n-body simulations. This work was published in The Planetary Science Journal as Graham & Volk (2024), characterizing Uranus’s influence on Neptune’s exterior mean-motion resonances. I have also contributed to SBDynT, a machine-learning framework for classifying small-body dynamics in preparation for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), and worked in the Arizona Noble Gas Laboratory preparing samples for Ar-Ar isotopic analysis.
I received the Excellence in Undergraduate Research Award from the University of Arizona Department of Planetary Sciences and an Arizona NASA Space Grant Award. I am currently applying to PhD programs for Fall 2026, with research interests in exoplanet dynamics and lunar geologic history.
