Hi,

I'm Maria Pudoka

Astronomy Graduate Student @ The University of Arizona

Take a look at my About Me tab or my Research tab to get to know about me some more.

Here are some research projects I've worked on. See the Research tab for more.

Python Astropy Corrfunc EAZY

I have built the Python architecture needed to select for Lyman Break galaxies, filter out low-redshift interlopers and non-astronomical sources, and calculate the photometric redshifts with EAZY given their photometric information along with calculating the angular autocorrelation function of the galaxies.

Python IRAF

For my undergraduate thesis, I analyzed spectroscopic rotation rates of field stars and low-mass stars in the Alpha Persei open cluster to extract information about stellar ages from spectroscopic measures alone.

Python JWST

I will use data from two JWST surveys, ASPIRE and FRESCO, to calculate the clustering of [OIII]+Hβ emitters on small scales for redshifts z~6.5-9. (Image from Costa et al. 2014)
