Wide binary stars identified in the GAMBLES sample. You can read more about these stars in Oelkers et al. 2017.
I am an accomplished big-data astrophysicist with significant interdisciplinary research experience in astrophysics, mathematics, data science, and mechanical engineering. I have applied my skillset in both academic and industry settings. I data-mine multi-million object data sets for time-domain variability, produce high precision data products from poor quality raw data, and release the data products to the community through large-scale visualization tools.
