Cosmology from the CMB and Lyman-α forest
In this thesis, we study challenges arising in cosmological data analysis using data from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), remnant radiation from the Big Bang, and the Lyman-α forest, absorption features in spectra ... -
Characterizing sub-mm observations of protoplanetary disks at super-resolution scales
Current advancements in telescope and instrumentation technology enable us to observe planets as astrophysical objects across epochs that span Gyr of evolution, from their formation in protoplanetary disks and continued ... -
The complex interplay between AGN jet feedback and galaxy evolution
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs), residing in the nuclei of most galaxies, are capable of imparting extreme amounts of energy to their surroundings. Observations indicate the presence of collimated, relativistic jets as ... -
Automating Searches for Gravitationally Lensed AGN in Wide-Field Surveys
Gravitational lensing is a rare phenomenon which requires the exact alignment between a distant source and a massive foreground galaxy. The light from the source is bent around the galaxy forming spectacular rings, arcs ...
