My CV
I currently am part of Garth Illingworth's research group, working with Rychard Bouwens, Shannon Patel and Dan Magee. We are all part of the ACS Instrument Definition Team.
We have been following up the i-dropout galaxies found by Rychard Bouwens. We have observed these galaxies with specotrgraphs on the Keck and the VLT.
Left we show our prettiest spectrum to date, a z=5.5 i-dropout galaxy. The exposure was only 24 hours with FORS2. The second paper has a detailed disucssion of this object.
The most recent paper can be found as a PDF File on this webpage as well as be downloaded from arxiv.org
