Hello!  I am an astrophysicist and I study galaxy clusters, the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe!  I look at the hot, X-ray gas that makes up most of the normal matter in the cluster to learn about the formation history of the cluster.  I also use strong gravitational lensing to model the dark matter.  I search for new, high-redshift clusters using a specific type of galaxy (bent, double-lobed radio AGN).  I believe that astronomy is for everyone!
