Research Interests:
I’m interested in extragalactic astronomy, specifically, star clusters as they relate to galaxy evolution and star formation in the outer regions of galaxies.
Biography:
I am a third year graduate student working with Professor Jay Gallagher in the field of observational extragalactic astronomy. I am currently leading a study on the star cluster population in the local spiral galaxy NGC 2997 as part of the Snapshot Hubble U-band Cluster Survey (SHUCS) team. I am also interested in understanding the nature of extended star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, particularly, the types of stellar systems and large-scale structures present. Another ongoing project is characterizing the star clusters and diffuse star formation occuring in large filamentary structures surrounding NGC 1275, the central galaxy in the Perseus galaxy cluster.
