I am a second year astronomy graduate student at Columbia University working with Greg Bryan on simulating dwarf galaxies with an updated supernova feedback model. In particular, I am interested in the role of high specific energy winds and their influence on the Circumgalactic Medium (CGM). Last year, I worked with Mary Putman on a comparison between observations of the Milky Way (MW) CGM (using low-galactic-latitude QSOs) and MW analogs in IllustrisTNG. Here is the HST proposal for more information. 

 

I recently graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with a degree in Astronomy/Astrophysics and Physics with a minor in Space Engineering.  For the past four years I have been researching the M81 Group under Eric Bell with data from the Subaru Telescope Hyper Suprime-Cam.  I am interested in how M81, M82, NGC-3077, and the various other tidal features have been interacting for the past ~300 million years.  I have also been participating in an REU through the University of Copenhagen this summer with Dr. Steven Gillman using integral field spectroscopy observations of high-redshift star-forming galaxies.  I am analyzing the starburst-driven gas outflows of these z ~ 2  galaxies from KMOS.
