Graduate Students:

Massimo Pascale: Massimo studies lensed super star clusters in high redshift galaxies using space-based and ground-based imaging and spectroscopy data, in an effort to understand physics in extreme starburst environments that are rarely found in the local Universe. Massimo also studies SNe in cluster lensing fields and use them to measure cosmic expansion.

Nathaniel Leslie: Nathaniel develops techniques useful for parameter inference of gravitational wave sources. These techniques apply to merging neutron stars and black holes detectable to LIGO/Virgo, as well as to double white dwarf systems, a multi-messenger target detectable to future space-based gravitational wave observatories and optical variability surveys.

Winston Yin: Winston develops novel statistical methods to search for cosmic birefringence signatures in the Cosmic Microwave Background and in the radio emission from distant galaxies. These methods will help us find evidence for a network of axion strings that might exist in the observable Universe.

Malcolm Lazarow: In the past Malcolm did research on plasma physics and QCD physics. Most recently, Malcolm is invested in gravitational dynamics, perturbation theory in general relativity, and signal detection for gravitational waves.
