Early Stages of Massive Protostars and Dusty Galaxies: Integrating the Theoretical and Observational Arenas
Research Interests:
Much of the information we have about newly born stars and dusty galaxies is due to analyses of the radiation we receive from these systems. I am interested in developing analytic and numerical radiative transfer methods to compute the emission from these systems that the Spitzer satellite and future infrared satellites will detect.
Education and Outreach Interests:
I am interested in developing a forum, in conjunction with the Women's Program Committee, for junior women scientists to develop their presentational and networking skills.
