Biography:
Research
I am a senior astronomy graduate student currently working with Sebastian Heinz on optical and X-ray observations of microquasars and Christy Tremonti on optical and X-ray observations of post-starburst galaxies.
Teaching
I am currently a teaching assistant for Astronomy 103 with Christy Tremonti. I have worked as a teaching assistant for Astronomy 103 with Eric Hooper in the fall of 2008 and with Andy Sheinis in the fall of 2011.
I am also participating in the Delta Program at UW and am currently pursuing a teaching certificate. As an integral part of this effort, I am completing a Delta internship with Eric Hooper, where I have developed a teaching-as-research study...read more
