Beryl Hovis-Afflerbach (she/they) is interested in studying the metal-poor massive stars that inhabit high-redshift galaxies. They plan to use rest-UV and rest-optical spectra of these galaxies alongside stellar evolution and population synthesis modeling to understand the emission from these stars and how we can implement it within our models of high-redshift galaxies.
