Profile: Danielle Berg

I am a graduate student working with Dr. Evan Skillman to investigate the formation and evolution of galaxies. I am particularly interested in measuring the metallicities and ages of galaxies through various spectroscopic methods. This research not only provides me with many opportunities to use world-class observing facilities to obtain spectra, but also to learn and apply new reduction and analytical techniques to these data. Recently I have been reanalyzing galaxies previously believed to be low-mass, high-metallicity outliers, and soon will begin to work with Local Volume Legacy (LVL) objects.
