E. Kimbro

Erin Kimbro

I am currently a PhD Student working with Professor Vivienne Baldassare. I am interested in the formation and growth of active galactic nuclei in dwarf galaxies, specifically, in characterizing the galactic environments of dwarf AGN hosts.

Outside of research I enjoy the outdoors, painting and cooking.

A. Acosta

Allison E. Acosta

I am a PhD student in Physics and Astronomy working with Dr. Vivienne Baldassare.

My interests include but are not limited to extragalactic research, stellar spectroscopy, and exoplanet discovery. My current research project focuses on using tidal disruption events to weigh black holes using the resulting light curves from tidally disrupted stars.

I graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a Bachelors of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics in 2020. During my undergraduate years, I actively participated in stellar spectroscopy research, particularly focusing on the chemical composition of Sirius A.

E. Wasleske

Erik J. Wasleske

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Physics and Astronomy working with Prof. Vivienne Baldassare.

I’m particularly interested in characterizing the population of black holes in low-mass galaxies to constrain models of black hole formation and growth. My research interests focus around the multi-wavelength observations of active galactic nuclei in dwarf galaxies. Galaxies can exhibit nuclei activity at different wavelengths and in connecting these emissions to host galaxies properties, we can learn more about the structure and formation of these objects.

Outside of research, I enjoy music, playing saxophone and guitar, and watching sports.
