Abraham R. Neben
Graduate Student, Physics StudentResearch interests:
I work on observational 21cm Cosmology with Professor Jacqueline Hewitt. I am interested ultimately in what such observations may teach us about the fundamental properties of our universe. For the immediate future, we are focused on detection and characterization of the Epoch of Reionization using radio interferometry. To that end, I work on analysis of Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) data, and instrumentation for the next generation Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Arrays (HERA).
