IPAC, located on the Caltech campus, is not under direct threat from local fires at this time, though it is subject to the effects of strong winds and poor air quality. Many members of the IPAC community have been impacted by these events, and IPAC will follow Caltech guidance on closures and safe operations.

Research Interests: I am using spectroscopic and photometric data in the optical, near-infrared, and sub-mm to study early galaxy evolution (from z > 3 quiescent galaxies to the Epoch of Reionization). I am the U.S. lead principal investigator of ALPINE, a large, international ALMA program to study the dust and gas properties of z = 4-6 galaxies. I am also part of the scientific steering committee of the COSMOS collaboration and I am heavily involved in other projects such as our new COSMOS-Web JWST cycle 1 program. I am part of the SPHEREx science and pipeline team, the IPAC science platform, and the IPAC-led Joint Survey Processing initiative. I am also co-lead of the AGN group for CASTOR, a new Canada-led UV space telescope and the U.S. Euclid consortium.
