Happy to share my latest paper, characterizing a rare-to-catch post collision galaxy with nine rings! Nice write up from stsci hubblesite.org/contents/new...

Bullseye! Researchers using Hubble found a massive galaxy rippling with nine star-filled rings after an “arrow,” the blue dwarf galaxy to its center-left, plunged through its core 50 million years ago. A thin trail of gas still links the pair: bit.ly/4hcX52n 🔭 🧪

Applications are open for the 2025 Dorrit Hoffleit Research Fellowship program for current undergraduate students to conduct summer research in the Yale Department of Astronomy!

Open to 2nd/3rd year undergrads of any nationality — due February 15th 🪐🧪🚀 astronomy.yale.edu/undergraduat...

Awesome job opportunity for PhDs with observational astronomy and software engineering skills!

Interested in working on the development of novel data analysis techniques? Our team at Dragonfly is hiring for a data algorithms position for a forthcoming 1000 lens array observatory in Chile! 5 year position w/great benefits and location flexibility: aas.org/jobregister/...

New Paper! With tim miller, @avapolzin.bsky.social, and pieter van dokkum, we explore whether forward modeling+simulation based inference can provide a robust, likelihood-free way to estimate galaxy distances in the distance range of 2-20 Mpc (too close for hubble-flow)🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2407.04091

Thrilled to announce an event I've long been thinking about! Join us at Yale University for a "Hack Day Conference," in which a group of educators come together to build resources and exercises for teaching research methods in astronomy. See astrocodex.github.io for more.

After half a decade of getting to use this incredible facility, today I got to visit Keck! It was both awe inspiring to see the telescopes and instruments that have defined my time in astronomy, and eye opening to see how much work is needed to keep this place looking upward night after night.

Astro folks using novel/cool data science techniques in your work: we’d love to hear you talk about it at the Yale Astro Data Science Seminar . We also have space for code demos or workshops if you want to demo new packages you’re working on. Please reach out if interested! (More info below)
