Academic interests

I study the gas dynamics in star forming regions, including both the molecular and ionized gas populations. Though observing these gas components, I can directly test predictions from theories of star formation. I study the gas dynamics at high resolution using state of the art radio interferometers such as ALMA, CARMA and the newly expanded VLA (or JVLA/EVLA).
