I am
currently a
graduate student in the UCLA division of Astronomy and Astrophysics,
working with Dr. Ian McLean. My primary focus is on near infrared
instrumentation and PAH dust evolution. I currently work on FLITECAM, a 1-5 micron imager and spectrometer built by the UCLA Infrared Lab for NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). Using FLITECAM's grism spectroscopy mode and the NIRSPEC instrument at Keck Observatory, I am conducting a survey of 3.3 micron PAH emission in evolved stars and star-forming regions. |
