Diagnosing the Circumgalactic Medium with Quasar Sightlines
During my undergraduate at the University of Washington, I was a member of Prof. Jessica Werk’s Student Quasar Absorption Diagnosticians (Werk SQuAD), researching the CGM2 survey, which seeks to constrain the cosmic baryon cycle of nearby galaxies. As a Werk SQuAD member, I classified thousands of absorption features from dozens of quasars observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cosmic Origin Spectrograph and contributed to HST proposals (Peek, 2018).
