Christina W. Lindberg
Post-Doc at the CfA (she/her)
I am an inaugural JC Ryan Prize Fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian. I am also currently serving as one of two Early Career Scientist representatives for the Roman Science Collaboration.
My research focuses on the baryonic ecosystem of galaxies, specifically, how stars and the interstellar medium (ISM) interact on small scales. To do this, I leverage multi-band photometry from telescopes like HST, JWST, and Roman to characterize resolved stars and dust extinction in nearby galaxies, providing a phase-agnostic tracer of the ISM at parsec-scales.
I currently collaborate with Dr. Catherine Zucker and her group at the CfA. Previously, I was an astrophysics Ph.D. candidate at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Dr. Claire Murray and other amazing researchers in the ISM* group at STScI. I obtained a B.S. in physics and astronomy from the University of Washington working with Drs. Jess Werk and Daniela Huppenkothen.
