About Me

I am beginning my third year as a graduate student in the Department of Astronomy at NMSU. I got my B.A. in Physics with a specialization in Astrophysics at the University of Chicago in 2007. At UChicago, I worked with the VERITAS high energy astrophysics group. At NMSU, I am researching galaxy evolution and formation through studies of gaseous halo kinematics and the interstellar medium with Dr. Rene Walterbos.


What's New?

I presented a poster at the Galaxy Metabolism conference in June 2009. Check it out on my research page.

Thanks to my officemates, I am also a big movie star . If you are in NY, my breakout role will be premiered in the Imagine Science Film Festival in October.
