I just started my second 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.

This summer, I spent six weeks at the Australia Telescope National Facility in Marsfield, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. It was awesome!


What's new?


Check out some of my travel pics from China and Sydney.
