Cosmology Data Science Fellow @ UC Berkeley
I study cosmological foregrounds by creating and analyzing
full-sky, high-resolution
maps of interstellar dust.
A full-sky, high-resolution atlas of Galactic
12 micron dust emission.
We have completed a custom reprocessing of the entire
WISE
12 micron imaging data set to isolate Galactic dust emission.
By performing hundreds of millions of point source subtractions
and preserving large angular scale modes, we have derived a
full-sky, 15 arcsecond resolution map of interstellar dust.
A full-sky, Planck-based thermal dust
emission model.
By fitting a dust spectrum consisting of two modified
blackbodies to
Planck, IRAS and DIRBE data,
we have
created the first ever Planck-based
100-3000 GHz thermal dust emission model.
