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.
