معرفی
Haylee Archer is a Researcher at the School of Earth and Space Exploration, Arizona State University (ASU), specializing in astrophysics with a focus on molecular clouds and star formation in dwarf irregular galaxies. She is a graduate student under Dr. Rogier Windhorst, currently pursuing a PhD in Astrophysics. Her research leverages observations from major telescopes like ALMA, Herschel, and the Lowell Discovery Telescope to study the WLM galaxy, addressing questions about star formation mechanisms in low-metallicity environments.
Education:
- PhD in Astrophysics (in progress), Arizona State University
- MA in Science Teaching, Northern Arizona University (2019)
- BS in Physics, University of North Dakota (2017)
Research Interests:
- Molecular clouds and star formation in dwarf galaxies
- Low-metallicity environments and their role in galactic evolution
- CO cores and dark gas dynamics
- Galaxy cluster dynamics and interstellar medium studies
Her work bridges observational astrophysics and education, with recent publications analyzing planet formation pedagogy and engineering curricula in out-of-school programs. She has operated the 4.3m Lowell Discovery Telescope and contributes to large-scale surveys like PEARLS and LITTLE THINGS.
