2014	Charles “Chat” Hull (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Carl Heiles Dick Plambeck Chat Hull’s research is focused on polarization measurements of the radio continuum and spectral lines to learn more about star formation in molecular clouds. Before starting as a Jansky Fellow at Harvard, he will be taking a cross-country road trip across the northern U.S. and southern Canada, hoping he will arrive at Harvard when the first snow falls. Michael McCourt (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Eliot Quataert Mike’s thesis includes many original contributions to our understanding of the physics of galaxy cluster plasmas. For example, he developed an analytical and numerical understanding of how thermal instabilities regulate the rate at which cold gas flows to small radii, fueling star formation and black hole growth in the centers of clusters. This likely provides a key to understanding why cluster plasmas have the properties they do. Mike will be an ITC postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard.
2013	Jonathan Pober (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Aaron Parsons Donald Backer Jonnie initially worked with Professor Don Backer on PAPER: Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization. When Backer passed away in 2010, new faculty member Aaron Parsons essentially became Don’s successor and as a result, became Jonnie’s advisor. Jonnie received a NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship, which he took to the University of Washington. Pober completed his Ph.D. in 2013 and is currently a NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Washington, Department of Physics.
2012	Andrew Siemion (Graduate) (Astronomy) Dan Werthimer Andrew Siemion’s research focused on designing instruments and experiments to detect rare and novel radio phenomena, specifically the detection and analysis of coherent sources of electromagnetic emission. Andrew is heavily involved in developing new computing technology and has organized and taught digital instrumentation workshops at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics in Taiwan, and the National Astronomical Observatories in China. He currently holds a joint research position with UC Berkeley and ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy. Nicholas McConnell (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Chung-Pei Ma James Graham Nicholas McConnell’s research measured stellar motions in the Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) and compared them to models of galaxies to determine the mass of the central supermassive black hole in each galaxy. Working in collaboration with advisors Chung-Pei Ma and James Graham, he discovered two black holes with record-breaking masses of at least 10 billion suns. After completing his Ph.D. at Berkeley, McConnell accepted the Beatrice Watson Parrent Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Hawai’i, where he is continuing his research.
2011	Daniel Perley (Graduate) (Astronomy) Daniel Perley was selected to receive the 2011 Mary Elizabeth Uhl Prize at commencement ceremonies last May. This annual prize is awarded to a graduate student in Astronomy (or Physics, with a preference in Astronomy) for outstanding scholarly achievement. Perley’s thesis project was based around a six year observing campaign using the Keck telescopes to study the properties of gamma-ray burst host galaxies and their connection with dust-obscured star formation in the early Universe. After completing his Ph.D. at Berkeley, Perley moved to Caltech to begin postdoctoral work as a Hubble Fellow.
2010	Onsi Fakhouri (Astronomy) Advisor: Chung-Pei Ma Onsi Fakhouri investigated how galaxies and their host dark matter halos were assembled in a universe composed of dark matter and dark energy. He analyzed more than 100 million objects in the largest cosmological simulations performed to date and quantified the rate at which galaxies merged with each other to form bigger galaxies. Onsi’s thesis work was published in seven journal articles and was a tour de force in the study of the growths of dark matter halos.

As an astronomy student at Berkeley, Vanderburg’s research ranged from improving the precision of radial velocity measurements taken at Keck to using externally dispersed interferometry to measure high resolution infrared spectra. Andrew is currently a graduate student at Harvard University.
2012	Pierre Christian (Undergraduate) (Astronomy) Pierre Christian was the 2012 recipient of the Dorothea Klumpke Roberts Prize for outstanding scholarly achievement by an upper-level undergraduate student. As an astronomy student at Berkeley, Christian studied the early-time infrared afterglow of GRBs using PAIRITEL, a robotic telescope located at Mt. Hopkins, AZ, and also conducted research on the cosmic microwave background. Christian is currently a graduate student at Harvard University.
2011	Marin Anderson (Undergraduate) (Astronomy) In May 2011, Marin Anderson was chosen to receive the Dorothea Klumpke Award for outstanding scholarly achievement by an upper-level undergraduate student. She received this honor to recognize her research in the electrostatic discharge on Mars. Marin explains, “The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) at the Hat Creek Observatory in California was used to monitor Mars over a period of approximately 3 months for radio emissions indicative of lightning discharge caused by Martian dust storms.” The results of this research were published in The Astrophysical Journal (“The Allen Telescope Array Search for Electrostatic Discharges on Mars”, ApJ, 744, 15,). Anderson worked on this project under the supervision of Astronomy professor Geoff Bower and Department Chair Imke de Pater, and alongside SETI Chief Scientist Dan Werthimer, and Graduate student Andrew Siemion. According to Bower, “Marin performed a very thorough analysis of a complex data set using a sophisticated array of analytical tools and then wrote a clear and engaging article presenting the results. This is one of the most impressive undergraduate research projects I have seen.” More recently, Marin teamed up again with Bower to search for slow transients with archival ‘Very Large Array’ (VLA) data. Marin graduated in December 2011 with a double major in Astrophysics and Physics. She is continuing her research at Berkeley through the spring and summer of 2012 and hopes to attend graduate school in the fall.

2014	James Gold McBride (Graduate) (Astronomy) James McBride is fascinated by galactic evolution and structure. He has worked on the observational effect of magnetic fields in galaxy and star formation, the starburst phenomenon, AGN and angular momentum transport therein, cooling flows in clusters of galaxies, and the interaction of radio jets with the intercluster medium. He studies these through a variety of observations including full-Stokes VLBI mapping of OH megamasers. Garrett “Karto” Keating (Graduate) (Astronomy) Karto’s thesis research involves intensity mapping of CO at high redshifts (z ~ 5), with CARMA. He is using over a 1000 hrs on the Hubble Deep ‘Goods-North’ field, achieving sensitivities that are of interest for current cosmological models. This research involves not only astronomy–but also a very high level of statistical and instrumental analysis.
2013	Charles “Chat” Hull (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Carl Heiles Dick Plambeck Chat was an observational astronomer whose research focused on polarization from protostellar disks. He completed his Ph.D. in 2014.
2012	Michael McCourt (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Eliot Quataert Michael McCourt, a 5th-year graduate student at Berkeley, worked with his advisor, Eliot Quataert, to understand the hot, tenuous gas filling clusters of galaxies. He led a number of studies on the physics of this gas, how it cools to form galaxies and fuel black hole growth, and how measurements of the gas can be used to infer the mass of the underlying dark matter halo. Michael is expected to graduate in spring 2014. Jonathan Pober (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Aaron Parsons Donald Backer “Jonathan Pober lost his original research advisor, Don Backer, midway through his graduate student career, but surmounted adversity to become a leading expert in the science and techniques of 21cm cosmology” according to Aaron Parsons, Pober’s current advisor. He played a key role in presenting the PAPER (Precision Array for Probing the Epoch of Reionization) experiment to the NSF, helping secure funding for the project. He adapted techniques pioneered by the PAPER project to a new science application, seeking to measure the accelerating expansion of the universe, presumably as the result of mysterious Dark Energy. Pober expects to complete his Ph.D. in 2013.
2011	Statia Luszcz-Cook (Graduate) (Astronomy) Advisor: Imke de Pater The first student chosen to receive the prestigious Berkeley Trumpler Award, Statia Luszcz-Cook, was announced as a recipient for her work in what could essentially be called a “double-thesis”. Luszcz-Cook observed Neptune in the near-IR with the integral-field spectrograph OSIRIS on Keck (at these wavelengths, the planet is observed in reflected sunlight) and subsequently observed Neptune’s thermal emission with CARMA at mm wavelengths, in particular the CO and HCN lines. She not only conducted the observations at these very different wavelengths, but also developed radiative transfer programs to analyze both sets of data.
