research
I
am an Astronomy Graduate Student in the Astronomy
Department
at the University
of Florida.
I am currently working with Dr.
Rafael Guzmán
on the study of a representative local sample of luminous compact blue
galaxies (LCBGs).
If
you are interested in knowing something more about my research, feel
free to visit the page of the project I am mostly involved in: Luminous
Compact Blue Galaxies in the Local Universe
teaching
I
have taught AST1022L:
Astronomy Lab
at the University of Florida. This course introduces undergraduate
students to the scientific method as applied to the field of astronomy.
I am currently a teaching assistant for Dr. Jonathan Tan on AST1002: Discover the Universe.
