Research Interests

My research interests include galaxy formation and evolution, parallel analysis and visualization tasks, high resolution cosmological simulations, and structure identification.

Together with Professor Carollo and Dr. Cameron I am working to accurately model galaxy surface brightness profiles in the new Wide Field Camera 3 imaging of the GOODS-South and HUDF-South fields. As a component of this work, I am examining the variation of these profiles as a function of observed wavelength and developing an empirical characterization of the point spread function of the WFC3.
