planetary astronomy,
space policy,
​and aerospace ​

Hi, I'm Lindsey!

I'm currently an astrophysics Ph.D. student at Arizona State University studying exoplanet atmospheres, atmosphere modeling, and space science mission strategies and policies. I'm also Deputy Lead of the Space Generation Advisory Council's (SGAC) Task Force on US Space Policy, and a member of SGAC's Space Law and Policy Project Group. My space exploration interests span science, engineering, policy and law, and public outreach. 

I was born in California and I completed my undergraduate degree at Johns Hopkins University, studying Engineering Mechanics and Earth and Planetary Science. In 2019, I was awarded the Brooke Owens Fellowship for women and gender minorities in aerospace. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, music, planes, and playing with my cat.
