I am a fifth-year graduate student and NSF Fellow here in the Astronomy Department. I work with Mariska Kriek on the formation and assembly histories of massive quiescent galaxies using ultra-deep continuum spectroscopy. I received my BA in physics and astrophysics from the University of...Read more about Aliza Beverage
Hi! I’m Jackie, a 3rd year graduate student and NSF Fellow in the Astronomy Department working with Professor Josh Bloom. I am currently using neural likelihood-free inference to infer parameters of eclipsing binary stars so that we can learn more about stellar evolution, measure distances...Read more about Jacqueline Blaum

Hi! I'm Savannah, a 2nd year graduate student in astronomy.
I grew up in the rural Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, and made my way to Wellesley College for undergrad. There, I received my B.A. in Spring 2022 in Astrophysics and East Asian Studies/Japanese Language and Culture. One...Read more about Savannah Cary
Hi! I’m Tyler, a 3rd year graduate student in the Astronomy Department working with Aaron Parsons. I’m currently working on developing novel calibration algorithms for the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) in an effort to detect the 21cm signal from the Epoch of
I am a PD Soros and NSF graduate fellow in the astronomy department. I work with Prof. Dan Weisz on studying resolved stellar populations in faint galaxies to learn about galaxy evolution on the smallest-known scales. Before coming to Berkeley, I
I am a third-year graduate student in the Department of Astronomy, researching gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries with Prof. Luke Kelley. My research interests more broadly include the theoretical and computational study of
Hi! I am an 4th year PhD student and NSF Graduate Fellow in the astronomy department. I am the Deputy Project Scientist for the CuRIOS (CubeSats for Rapid Infrared and Optical Surveys) mission, and the lead for the Student Collaboration Project known as BTO (the Background and Transient Observer...Read more about Hannah Gulick
I am a fifth-year graduate student in astronomy. I work with Dan Weisz on massive metal-poor stars in the local group.
Post Big Bang, the universe consisted of H, He and a sprinkle of other elements. All other elements (referred to as metals by Astronomers) are...Read more about Maude Gull
Caleb Harada is a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and PhD Candidate in Astrophysics. Caleb's research focuses the detection and characterization of extrasolar worlds and their host systems. They are particularly interested in understanding the astrophysical context of...Read more about Caleb Harada
I am a third-year Department of Energy SCGSR graduate student with interests in optical/IR instrumentation, galaxies, transients, and cosmology. I am also especially interested in using statistical techniques to analyze large survey data. I work
I am a first-year graduate student with a keen interest in applying Machine Learning to a range of (astro)physical challenges, including instrument design, theory/equation discovery, and observational (anomally) detection pipelines. My current work focuses on neural network-based adaptive optics...Read more about Peter Ma
I am a first-year grad student in astronomy. I'm interested in a variety of topics, largely under the umbrella of theoretical astrophysics.
I was an undergrad at The University of Texas (Hook 'Em!), where I majored in Physics and in Astronomy. There, I worked with J. Craig Wheeler to...Read more about Sarafina Nance
I am a fifth year graduate student in astronomy and an NSF fellow. I graduated with a B.S. in Astronomy, Physics, and Math and a minor in Computer Science at the University of Arizona in the Spring of 2019 where I worked with Prof. Brenda Frye in
Hello! I am a second year graduate student working with Chung-Pei Ma on dynamical studies of nearby galaxies. Before moving to Berkeley for graduate school, I got my bachelor’s
I’m a third-year grad student working with Jessica Lu on Galactic Center stellar and compact object populations. I use JWST/NIRSpec IFU spectra to find black holes in binary systems in the Galactic Center. I have experience with the JWST pipeline, spectral reduction, and data visualization....Read more about Anna Pusack
I am a sixth-year PhD candidate in the astronomy department here at Berkeley. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis. My undergraduate research experience includes
