Â鶹ֱ²¥

I started out as a physics major at a liberal arts college not too different from Â鶹ֱ²¥! But my eyes were drawn to the heavens by the current golden age of astronomical discovery. I teach a range of astronomy and physics courses to both majors and non-majors. In my research lab students use imaging spectroscopy from some of the largest ground-based telescopes in the world (like the ) and from space-based telescopes (like the and ) to probe galaxy evolution. Students who work in my lab learn science and software skills to prepare them for a wide variety of careers, including (but certainly not limited to) astronomy.
