I recently completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and
Mathematics from the University of Louisville with a minor in Latin. I am
now at the University of Wisconsin Madison studying for a Ph.D. in
Astronomy, which I hope to finish in 2013. My current research interests
are in MHD theory in the interstellar medium and particle astrophysics.
Currently, I am working on a continuation of a project from my 2007 summer
REU here at Madison with Dr. Stanimirovic and Dr. Lazarian. This project
involves applying the Bispectrum technique, which I previously explored
for synthetic data to data taken of the Small Magellanic Clouds (SMC).
When I'm not busy with Astrophysics I love to travel the world and see new
places! I've been to Taiwan, Japan, Italy, Spain, France, Canada, and Indonesia and plan on
visiting Hungary in early 2009! Eventually, I hope to combine my love for
travel, language, and physics by teaching and doing research in a foreign country.
