معرفی
Anna Sajina is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Tufts University, part of the School of Arts and Sciences. Her research focuses on extragalactic astrophysics, particularly the co-evolution of galaxies and central black holes. She holds a PhD in Astronomy from the University of British Columbia (2006), an MS (2002), and a BS (2000) in Physics & Astronomy.
Her work investigates obscured galaxy and AGN activity using multi-wavelength observations, including mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning techniques. She leads the JWST 'Halfway to the Peak' program, studying ice absorption features and galaxy kinematics at z ~ 0.5. Key contributions include analyzing AGN demographics in X-ray and mid-IR surveys and modeling galaxy parameters with self-organizing maps.
- Research emphasizes dust-obscured galaxies, AGN feedback, and environmental impacts on galaxy evolution.
- Active in large collaborations like MINERVA and SHIRAZ, enhancing MIRI imaging and Spitzer survey coverage.
Recent publications highlight spatially resolved studies with JWST MIRI/MRS and advanced parameter estimation methods. She has secured grants from NASA and NSF, supporting projects on galaxy evolution and AGN studies. Her teaching includes courses like Extragalactic Astronomy and supervises graduate and undergraduate research.
Advises a research group with postdocs and students working on topics like galaxy mergers, AGN feedback, and mid-IR diagnostics. Her lab's work bridges observational data and theoretical models to understand cosmic structure formation.
