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

Thanks to my officemates, I am also a
