Sally Oey

Sally Oey’s group is studying massive star populations and the escape of ionizing radiation from starburst galaxies and super star clusters. The group is at the forefront of establishing a new paradigm for massive-star feedback, where superwinds from compact young star clusters fail to launch. Members have used numerical simulations and image processing techniques to ...

Monica Valluri

The focus of the research in our group is two fold. 1) We use stellar kinematics in galactic nuclei to infer the masses of super massive black holes using dynamical modeling. This includes a combination of statistical and optimization methods to fit data from telescopes such as the James Webb Space telescope. My group also ...

Sean Johnson

Sean Johnson is an observational astronomer and primarily studies galaxies, supermassive black holes, and the surrounding gas supplies that fuel their growth. By combining datasets from space-based and large ground-based telescopes, he studies the physical conditions of the gas supplies that enable galaxies to continue forming stars, and identifies the chemical signatures of heavy elements ...

Lia Corrales

My PhD research focused on identifying the size and mineralogical composition of interstellar dust through X-ray imaging of dust scattering halos to X-ray spectroscopy of bright objects to study absorption from intervening material. Over the course of my PhD I also developed an open source, object oriented approach to computing extinction properties of particles in ...

Oleg Gnedin

I am a theoretical astrophysicist studying the origins and structure of galaxies in the universe. My research focuses on developing more realistic gasdynamics simulations, starting with the initial conditions that are well constrained by observations, and advancing them in time with high spatial resolution using adaptive mesh refinement. I use machine-learning techniques to compare simulation ...

Christopher Miller

Professor Christopher Miller is an observational cosmologist who works in the fields of astronomical data mining and computational astrostatistics. He co-founded the INternational Computational Astrostatistics (INCA) group, a collaboration of researchers from the University of Michigan, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Washington, Georgia Tech, the NOAO, and others. Recently, he led the NOAO Science Data ...

Timothy McKay

I am a data scientist, with extensive and various experience drawing inference from large data sets. In education research, I work to understand and improve postsecondary student outcomes using the rich, extensive, and complex digital data produced in the course of educating students in the 21st century. In 2011, we launched the E2Coach computer tailored support ...
