Astronomy

As a graduate student in the Astronomy Department at the University of Washington I worked with Suzanne Hawley and Kem Cook to study long period variables found in the MACHO Project. I finished in 2008; my project was Properties of Long-Period Variables from the MACHO Project (10 Mbyte pdf). Chapters 2 and 3 have both been published in the Astronomical Journal. Chapter 5, with substantial improvements, is in the works!
