About
Hi, I’m Tori! I graduated with my Bachelor's in Astrophysics from F&M, a small liberal arts college in Lancaster, PA. I then moved back across the state to my hometown to pursue to doctorate degree at the University of Pittsburgh. I graduated in 2026 and am now a full-time Lecturer here at Cal Poly SLO. While I am interested in exoplanets broadly, my main work is to study the atmospheres of Ultra-Hot Jupiters with high-resolution spectroscopy. I am also passionate about science communication, outreach, and advocacy.
