Our research group is at the forefront of mapping populations of distant galaxies and supermassive black holes and determining how they formed and evolved over cosmic time. Our observations in the submillimeter led to the discovery of giant galaxies in the distant universe that are forming stars at prodigious rates. These galaxies are cocooned in … Continued

My research focuses on monitoring the full sky for variability with an unprecedented combination of resolution and coverage both in space and time. Specifically, I am building a very wide field camera system, called HATPI, which will continuously image the entire night sky above 30 degreeselevation (corresponding to 1 PI solid angle) at high spatial … Continued
