Keele UniversityAstrophysics Ph.D.
Sep. 2011 - Jul. 2015StaffordshireThe Ph.D. project was focussed on studying star formation structure and timescales in a young, nearby star cluster. I have assisted in creating a reduction and analysis pipeline for spectroscopic data, and have been using spectroscopic data to measure stellar parameters, in order to examine both the ages of stars, and fine structure within the stellar region. I have also used mathematical models as a comparison to the data, in order to simulate star formation scenarios, which assisted in determining the star formation timescale for the cluster.
