About Me

I am a first year graduate student in Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I graduated from Colorado College in 2008 with a B.A. in Physics.

Research

I am currently working with Dr. Dave Pooley studying x-ray sources in open clusters in collaboration with the WOCS research group. We are investigating the prevalence of x-ray sources in connection with the dynamical frequency of the cluster. The number and type of x-ray sources tied to the dynamical frequency can give insight into cluster history and formation.

Teaching

In the Spring of 2009 I was the teaching assistant for Astronomy 103 taught by Jay Gallagher.
