My Research
-
Next I learned to reduce and analyze coronagraphic images taken of a number of Luminous Blue Variables using the VLT.
-
The next few years of my academic journey will be spent creating and analyzing ion-scale simulations of turbulence in astrophysical plasmas.
-
My first foray into astronomical research was a paper analyzing 13 years worth of spectropolarimetric measurements of the cannonical Luminous Blue Variable—P Cygni.

δ-Scuti variables are the most common type of classical pulsator, and therefore provide an interesting test for asteroseismology. I created a fully automated pipeline to search through 3/4 of a million TESS light-curves. This work yielded an order of magnitude increase in the number of known δ-Scuti stars
