Graduate Students at LMA
Lisa Wei I am a graduate student in the Laboratory for Millimeter-wave
Astronomy group, working under the direction of Stuart Vogel, as well
as external advisers Sheila Kannappan(UNC) and Andrew
Baker(Rutgers). I study the potential for morphological evolution of
nearby field elliptical and S0 galaxies.

Ashley Zauderer I study Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies in many different
ways. I am a part of the Laboratory for Millimeter-wave Astronomy group,
using the CARMA facility to observe various molecular transitions in
nearby ULIRGs. I am also undergoing a global environmental study of a large
sample of ULIRGs and using the Arecibo telescope to look at the
interstellar medium of ULIRGs and the less-bright LIRGs. The main
goal is to better understand the physical mechanism leading to the
extraordinarily bright infrared emission, and where ULIRGs fit into
the evolutionary picture of galaxy formation.
