My research interests are in the extragalactic field, mainly focused in the study of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies. During my first year of graduate school I worked with Dr. Alberto Bolatto studying the dust properties of the low metallicity dwarf galaxy I Zw 18. Currently, I am working in two projects: I am starting to analyze spectroscopic data obtained by the Herschel Space Observatory as part of the KINGFISH project. The second one, is based on the work published by Hodges-Kluck et al. 2009 on the detection and characterization of dense, parsec-scale clumps near the the great annihilator. Using observations obtained as a CARMA 2010 summer school attendant, I am extending the search of these dense clumps to unexplored regions in the galactic center. |
