I work with Prof. Michael Meyer and Dr. Megan Reiter on the characterization of binary star populations. My research involves the creation and implementation of a double PSF code that is used to identify companion stars down to projected separations of .05” with ACS/WFC on HST. Using this tool, I will characterize many binary star populations at separations previously unexplored.  Currently, I am studying the binary population of the Orion Nebula Cluster.
