Welcome to Mark Ammons's homepage.

I am a fifth year graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in the Astronomy & Astrophysics department. I am currently working in the Laboratory for Adaptive Optics (LAO) on a Multi-Object Adaptive Optics (MOAO) testbed, in support of the Thirty-Meter Telescope (TMT) and the Gemini MCAO projects. I am also involved in the construction of a visible light LGSAO system for the 1-meter Nickel telescope at Lick Observatory. My current science interest is combining HST imaging of AGN at intermediate redshifts with Keck K-band AO data, in collaboration with the CfAO Treasury Survey (CATS), to investigate the formation history of the bulges in those systems.
