Celia Mulcahey
Graduate Student at JHU
Celia’s research interests lie in using multi-wavelength observations to probe the hierarchical processes governing the formation, and the chemical and kinematic evolution of galaxies. She has extensive experience using optical and infrared integral field spectroscopy data to analyze spatially resolved properties of the stellar and nebular gas populations in both local and high redshift galaxies. Celia is currently researching the kinematics of MgII gas at z ~ 1 using absorption lines in deep, semi-resolved spectra from Keck/DEIMOS.
Ezra Sukay
Graduate Student at JHU
Ezra is interested in using observations to uncover how galaxies evolve. Currently, he is using Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy to determine why some galaxies have strong winds, while others do not.
Ying Qin
Undergraduate at JHU
Ying is a third-year undergraduate interested in understanding low mass galaxies through their emission lines. She is currently characterizing Mg II emission in low mass galaxies at z~1 using spectra from Keck/DEIMOS with Dr. Weichen Wang as her primary advisor. For summer 2023, Ying is working with Dr. Karl Glazebrook at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.
Dr. Camilla Pacifici
Senior Astronomical Data Scientist, STScI
Dr. Pacifici is an expert on spectral energy distribution modeling of galaxies. She has created models which take into account low to high resolution spectra of galaxies (emission lines, absorption lines, continua), complex star-formation histories motivated by the hierarchical universe, and more sophisticated dust models. Her approach to fitting data is fully Bayesian. Dr Pacifici's recent results on the star-formation histories of quiescent galaxies strongly suggest two separate quenching mechanisms for low and high mass galaxies.
