| I am a Research Scientist in
the Astronomy
Department of the University of Illinois. Until recently, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at UIUC with an appointment at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
My research focus is studying the distribution of quasars across cosmic
history. My specific interests include; constraining
cosmology, and models of quasar activity and galaxy formation, by
analyzing clustering within large surveys of quasars
and galaxies; using binary quasars to constrain models
of quasar fueling and galaxy evolution; quasar environments, statistical
lensing (cosmic magnification) as a trace of dark matter; and the
development of novel computational techniques to extract
cosmological and astrophysical information from
increasingly overwhelmingly large astronomical datasets.
The majority of my collaborative work, internally at the University of Illinois, is carried out in conjunction
with Professor
Robert Brunner and members of his research group, particularly people affiliated with the Laboratory for Cosmological Data Mining.
Previously, I worked with the Extragalactic Astronomy and Cosmology research group at the University of Durham, where I obtained my PhD. I mainly collaborated with Professor Tom Shanks (my PhD supervisor) and Dr. Phil Outram on statistical analyses of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey. |
