Chris Clemens is an associate professor in the UNC Department of Physics and Astronomy and director of the Goodman Laboratory. |

Celeste Yeates is a graduate student working on white dwarf seismology. She has learned how to use information contained in the non-linear pulse shapes of pulsating white dwarfs for mode identification. Now she is learning how to observe with SOAR. | |
|
|
Rachel Rosen is a graduate student working on non-radial oscillations of pulsars. The first paper on this subject defined a new model for structure in pulsar beams, the next one will tackle polarization. | |
|
|
Eric Hirsh is an undergraduate physics major working on innovative ways to coat dichromated gelatin onto glass for making volume phase holographic gratings. | |
|
|
Adam Crain has completed his undergraduate degree at UNC and wrote the software control system for the Goodman Spectrograph. He is currently working on software tools for the PROMPT project and for slitmask production. | |
|
|
Matt Bayliss has completed his
undergraduate degree at UNC and wrote the observation planning tool for
the Goodman Spectrograph. He will enter the University of Chicago
for graduate school in the Fall

Former Laboratory Personnel |

|
|
Mercedes Lopez-Morales was a UNC graduate student in astronomy using eclipsing binaries to measure the masses and radii of low-mass stars. These measurements will constrain the physics of stellar interiors. She is now a Carnegie Postdoctoral Fellow with a web page here. | |
|
|
Susan Thompson was a UNC graduate student working on asteroseismology of pulsating white dwarf stars. She specializes in time-resolved spectroscopic techniques, which deliver mode periods and surface distribution necessary for reconstructing information about white dwarf interiors. She is now a visiting assistant professor at Colorado College. | |
