Research Interests: Astronomy instrumentation. Currently working with the OVRO-LWA radio telescope and the MWA radio telescope.

Research

OVRO-LWA
Long wavelength radio telescope in Owens Valley, run by Cal-Tech. My research is on identifying systematics in the data and finding ways of mitigating them.

MWA
Long wavelength radio telscope in Australia. My research is on identifying systematics in the data and finding ways of mitigating them.

EXCITE
Balloon-born infrared telescope, collaborating with NASA Goddard and Brown University. My research was on low reflectivity surface treatments for the spectrograph optical table.
