RIT Center for Imaging Science

📣📣Today, our shout-out goes to Tanya Walia! Tanya (Imaging Science grad student) was selected to receive the Steven M. Wear Endowed Graduate Fellowship!!

📚This fellowship will support her research which focuses on understanding how and why galaxies were different in the distant past compared to today.

🔭🪐Tanya is using data from the James Webb Space Telescope and is working on implementing a new image analysis software to perform “deblending” on data from space-based observatories. This work will enable more accurate estimates of galaxy properties, and will help us identify systems of galaxies that may be merging or interacting!

We're trying to keep it short and sweet for you, but man, these overachievers do NOT make that easy.

🍎 So many accomplishments, and such a small wordcount!
