Katie Jameson has joined CASS as a Bolton Fellow after working for the past
few years as a postdoc at ANU with Prof. Naomi McClure-Griffiths
studying the properties of the cold neutral gas and molecular gas in
the Magellanic Clouds. She has also served as a member of the ASA IDEA
steering committee for the past 2 years. Before making the jump to
Australia, Katie completed her PhD at the University of Maryland
with advisor Prof. Alberto Bolatto on the effects of metallicity on
the molecular gas and star formation in the Magellanic Clouds. At the
University of Maryland, she got her first hands-on training with radio
interferometry as a CARMA observer driving her continued interest that
has expanded to include observations with ALMA, ATCA, and ASKAP. Katie
plans to continue her work studying the low metallicity ISM and star
formation in the Magellanic Clouds by combining the beautiful new
ASKAP HI observations with the first large-scale, high resolution ALMA
CO observations. The photo above is from when Katie got to visit the ALMA
site while observing at APEX in Chajnantor, Chile.
