Information for prospective students and postdocs

My research generates a steady stream of projects for graduate students, both first projects and thesis-scope work. Much of this work is done in the context of medium or small international collaborations (offering the chance to get to know and collaborate with scientists around the world).

If you are interested in working with the combination of JWST, ALMA, and optical data, check out PHANGS. We build projects that tackle the structure and interrelationship of dust, ionized gas, molecular gas, stars, and star clusters. It’s a fun, positive team and a great, cutting edge data set.

If you are interested in working with the Very Large Array, preparing for the ngVLA, and tackling the detailed structure of atomic gas in galaxies, check our Local Group L Band Survey. This is a place to dive in get your hands dirty with real radio work or to make connections to key work the Milky Way. HI is about to make a roaring comeback with new facilities coming online.

I’m also eager to work with students interested in pushing ALMA and JWST to dig into cluster formation or starburst galaxy physics, and to work with students interested in big data projects that extend beyond the optical.

If you’re a prospective graduate student these topics interest you I encourage you to apply to Ohio State Astronomy! If you are a postdoc interested in these topics, I am always happy to work with you on fellowship proposals and consider applying to our Center for Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics postdoctoral positions.
