Biography
Nick focuses on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) and habitable worlds research. His SETI work has been executing and analyzing the results of novel search strategies to look for radio technosignatures using observatories like the Green Bank Telescope and the Allen Telescope Array. His work on exoplanets has largely been focused on directly measuring the chemical components of disintegrating rocky bodies around main sequence stars to test our understanding of planet composition using both state-of-the-art ground-based optical observatories as well as space-based observatories like JWST.
