Welcome

Hello, I am a currently CIERA postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern who studies observational galaxy evolution. I grew up in Calgary, Canada and received My B.Sc and M.Sc in Physics from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada before moving to Yale for my PhD. While I was at Dal I worked with Scott Chapman studying sub-mm galaxies. I received my PhD from Yale, where my advisor was Pieter van Dokkum, where I focused on developing and applying innovative methods to study the morphology of galaxies.

While I am broadly interested in many aspects observational galaxy formation, summed up in one sentence my main research goal is: Using multiwavelength images to learn about the physical properties of galaxies. Currently this includes studying the morphology of galaxies in the across cosmic history using the James Webb space telescope to learn about their formation and developing new methods to infer the distances to nearby dwarf galaxies from wide-area surveys. Much of this work involves the development of software and novel methods, often including Bayesian inference and machine learning techniques.
