I am a PPARC post-doctoral researcher in the Astrophysics Group at
Imperial College London.
Prior to my appointment here I was a
post-doctoral researcher in the DEEP group at UCO/Lick Observatory at UC Santa Cruz.
My research interests include X-ray surveys, AGN evolution, history of
star formation in the Universe, X-ray observations of normal galaxies,
the use of X-ray as a star formation rate indicator, and the
connection between star formation and AGN. I am part of the
X-ray group.

I work mainly on the Chandra survey of the Extended Groth Strip as
part of the AEGIS collaboration. The
EGS, which is part of the DEEP2 spectroscopy survey, is a half square degree
survey that is primarily designed for galaxy evolution studies. The
extensive multiwavelength coverage - including deep X-ray, UV, optical
(including HST ACS imaging), near/mid/far infrared and radio data -
makes the EGS one of the best observed parts of the sky. With the
Chandra data in particular we will be identifying AGN activity to
study the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes, addressing such
issues as whether AGN are triggered by mergers, if AGN activity is
related to large scale structure and whether AGN luminosity and
activity is correlated with star formation. For more information about
the Chandra EGS survey see the survey homepage.
