Academic Interests
My research interests specifically revolve around utilizing chemical information from stars to distinguish different populations of stars within individual globular star clusters. This is done using spectroscopic and/or photometric data from telescopes like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and others, with the goal of resolving the nature and formation history of these stellar populations.
