After 5 wonderful years at the Space Telescope Science Institute, I have decided to return to school to pursue a PhD in Physics at University of California, Davis. In my few precious moments of free time, I work on these projects:
Leading a Software Carpentry Workshop at the American Astronomical Society Conference in January 2015
Python topic maintainer for the Software Carpentry Foundation
Characterizing the binary companion of Supernova 1993J.
Here is a recent paper I worked on to identify the binary comparison of SN 1993J. We will be taking more FUV imaging in April 2015 to confirm the companion flux levels in the FUV observationally.
Observing the late time UV spectra of type IIn supernovae interacting with circumstellar material.
Using the LSST data management pipeline on images of type Ia supernova from the SweetSpot survey to characterize the light curve variability of all objects in the field.
