Research

I'm interested in many topics related to galaxy evolution, particularly through studies of distant galaxies. I have used imaging and spectroscopy from a range of ground- and space-based telescopes to study the structures, kinematics, and dust content of galaxies at z~1-3, and more recently pushing to earlier times.

My work has included analysis of large samples to characterize the properties of galaxy populations over time, as well as investigations of individual galaxies using detailed spatially- and spectrally-resolved observations. I have carried out this work as a leader in and a member of multiple surveys, and have also led and contributed to development efforts of analysis tools to model and interpret these observations.

Surveys

JWST Cycle 1 Treasury survey taking ultradeep NIRCam/NIRISS imaging and NIRSpec PRISM spectroscopy of the cluster Abell 2744, to study galaxies from the epoch of reionization out to cosmic dawn

JWST Cycle 2 GO program with ultradeep medium band imaging across Abell 2744, to do spatially-resolved R~15 spectrophotometry of 50,000 sources across the history of the universe

SUSPENSE

JWST Cycle 1 GO program studying chemical abundances and stellar kinematics of quiescent galaxies at 1.0 < z < 2.5 using ultra-deep medium resolution (R~1000) NIRSpec continuum spectroscopy

Keck/LRIS and MOSFIRE survey using ultradeep rest-frame optical spectroscopy to study the chemical composition and stellar kinematics of 20 massive quiescent galaxies at z~1.3-2.3

ALMA Cycle 8 Large Program constraining the gas, dust, and stars in 19 "normal" star-forming galaxies at z~4-5 on kpc scales by combining observations with ALMA, HST, JWST, and VLT

DUALZ

ALMA Cycle 9 program establishing a joint ALMA and JWST public legacy field with contiguous Band 6 (~1.2mm) coverage over the extended Abell 2744 cluster field

NOEMA3D

MIOP IRAM/NOEMA survey studing star formation, feedback, and quenching using the molecular gas distribution and kinematics in ~50 massive star-forming galaxies out to cosmic noon

KMOS3D

VLT/KMOS GTO survey using IFU spectroscopy to take a census of the spatially-resolved kinematics, star formation, outflows, and nebular gas conditions in more than 700 star-forming galaxies at z~1-3

MOSDEF

Keck/MOSFIRE large program combining multiband rest-frame optical spectroscopy with HST imaging (from 3D-HST & CANDELS) to probe the stars, gas, metals, dust, and AGN in ~1500 galaxies at z~1.5-3

HST Cycle 28 & 29 Treasury program that obtained low spectral resolution slitless grism spectra in four of the CANDELS extragalactic fields, with redshifts and emission line fluxes for ~100,000 galaxies
