Students are solicited to do research with the Hubble and Webb Space Telescopes
in the Cosmology group of Regents' and Foundation Professor Windhorst at ASU.
Possible research topics can be done at the undergraduate, honors, 2nd-yr,
Masters, and/or PhD level by either SESE, Physics, and/or NASA Space Grant
undergraduate or graduate students, resp.
The student will do research with Hubble and the new Webb data to study current
hot topics in cosmology, the epoch of cosmic reionization, star-formation in a
cosmological context, galaxy formation and evolution, and the growth of
super-massive black holes in the centers of galaxies. The student will learn how
to reduce and analyze the Hubble and Webb data, and will get hands-on
experience with Hubble and Webb data. Recommended is some experience with Mac OS
and/or UNIX, and python image processing, although this is not essential for
undergraduate students, since they will be trained in Windhorst's cosmology
group. We have room for several new undergraduate students.
