Tyler Pauly

Tyler is a postdoctoral fellow at STScI, working with Dr. Klaus Pontoppidan on radiative transfer models of the hot inner region of protoplanetary disks where terrestrial planets are expected to form. He received his graduate education from Cornell University, where he worked with Prof. Robin Garrod on gas-grain chemical models of the interstellar medium and with Dr. Gregory Sloan on mid-infrared spectroscopy of young stellar objects and evolved stars.
