Korbin Waters Awarded Rackham Graduate Student Research Grant
We are pleased to share that group member Korbin Waters has received a Rackham Graduate Student Research Grant. These funds are designed to support Rackham graduate students in carrying out research that advances their progress toward their degree.
This grant will facilitate Korbin’s upcoming research visit to Chile to collaborate with Neil Nagar and his research group. The primary focus of the visit is to work on advanced data reduction techniques for the MUSE (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) instrument, located on the VLT (Very Large Telescope).
By using the high-spatial-resolution integral field spectroscopy provided by MUSE, Korbin will continue his efforts on SMBH mass measurements. This collaboration is a vital step in our group’s work exploring the scaling relations and evolution of black holes.
Congratulations to Korbin on securing this support for his dissertation research!
