Brian Cherinka joined the Dunlap in October, 2012, as part of the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) team.
Dongwoo works on tracing the history of star formation and molecular gas across the first several billion years of cosmic history. In particular, Dongwoo is part of several experiments employing the technique of line-intensity mapping, tracing the implied three-dimensional large-scale distribution of galaxies through fluctuations…
Sarik’s research efforts are primarily spread across observation and instrumentation. The observational aspect of his work consists of using data from Gaia and WISE to select optically bright, potentially high-redshift quasar candidates for spectroscopic confirmation, with these quasars ultimately serving as ideal targets for future…
Dr. Momen Diab completed his Ph.D., focused on astrophotonics at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics (AIP) and the University of Potsdam. His recent research involved studying photonic lanterns and adaptive optics as enabling technologies for integrated IR astronomical instruments. He also worked on modeling atmospheric…
I obtained my PhD from the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. I studied how galaxies evolve, with a focus on the effects that strong and weak bars have on their host galaxies. I was also very involved in Galaxy Zoo, a citizen science project that…
Tuan Do’s research focuses on the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, including the super-massive black hole found there, as well as Active Galactic Nuclei.
Dr. Azhar Iqbal’s research work focuses on Adaptive Optics (AO) systems and liquid mirrors. He has done ground-breaking work in modelling, design and control of deformable liquid mirrors. Iqbal is currently working on a collaborative engagement led by Professor Suresh Sivanandam at the Dunlap Institute…
Dr. Ryan Dungee is a Dunlap Instrumentation fellow that specializes in adaptive optics control systems, atmospheric tomography, and gyrochronology. Lately he has been working on a new method for tomographic reconstruction that incorporates techniques from predictive control, utilizing the time history of wavefront sensor measurements…
