:: Research

All of my astronomical research is focused toward active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and galaxies. I've done a lot of work with radio galaxies: two productive summers as an NRAO REU student working with Craig Walker, and two projects at NOAO (Tucson) with Dave De Young and Mike Brotherton (currently at U. of Wyoming, WIRO).

I have taken a digression from radio astronomy, and have focused on the optical regime. My second-year project (Master's thesis) involves studying emission line galaxies at low and intermediate redshifts in the Subaru Deep Field. The Subaru Deep Field is located near the North Galactic Pole where fellow Japanese collaborators have obtained ultra-deep 0.25 deg² FOV observations in multiple optical bandpasses and narrow bandpasses.
