High-contrast imaging techniques have enhanced our capabilities in studying the formation and evolution of exo-solar disks and planets. In my research, I have studied the instrumentation, data reduction, and data analysis involved in this area. Many high-contrast imagers operate…
One of the most pressing open questions in star formation is the role of magnetic fields relative to turbulence and gravity, and how these three processes set the stellar initial mass function and star formation efficiency. In this work, we present the state of BLAST-TNG (the Ba…
X-ray polarimetry is a prime tool to investigate the unexplored compact sources and to provide crucial information that other techniques can not produce. By measuring the degree and orientation of the polarization of radiation from a cosmic source, unique inferences about the mo…
