Scientific Interests

I'm an experimental astrophysicist with wide interests, including galaxy clusters and their cosmological applications, the supermassive black hole in our galaxy (Sagittarius A*) and other low-luminosity AGN, the process of star formation, and star forming galaxies in the early universe. Much of my work is supported by the development of new instruments or new capabilities for existing instruments. Links to these projects are provided below.

Instruments

Sunyaev-Zeldovich Array and the Combined Array for Research in Millimeterwave Astronomy
A tool for high-resolution imaging of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect signal from galaxy clusters and wide-field interferometric imaging.
South Pole Telescope
An SZ survey instrument and tool for identifying extremely rare, luminous star forming galaxies (see Vieira et al. 2009).
Submillimeter Array
The first imaging submillimeter inteferometer. The facility polarimeter is described in my PhD thesis and Marrone & Rao (2008).
Event Horizon Telescope
An ad hoc array of submillimeter telescopes for micro-arcsec imaging of black holes (Astro2010 White Paper).
Receiver Lab Telescope
A window on atomic/molecular lines that will help us understand star formation but that are normally inaccessible from the ground.
