My reflection in a gold plate part of the Keck interferometer
I am a graduate student at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCR Riverside. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics, with dissertation focus on observational astronomy under the guidance of Prof. Gabriela Canalizo.
In my research I use Keck, Spitzer, and Hubble space telescope data to study the nature of rare class of broad absorption line (BAL) quasars, the so-called LoBALs. I am interested in the place of quasars in galaxy evolution, and their possible connection to ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and starbursts.
