This week, I met with Konstantin Gerbig at one of the Astronomy buildings on Hillhouse Avenue. Konstantin is a German PhD student in Astronomy. He grew up near Stuttgart and studied Physics at Heidelberg University. Through the research experiences at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy there, he became interested in theoretical astrophysics. During his master’s, he spent a year doing research in Santa Cruz, California and joined Yale for his PhD studies.

Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.
Alice: I don’t much care where.

I met with Aritra Ghosh at one of the historic

I met with Aritra Ghosh at one of the historic astronomy buildings on Hillhouse Avenue and we chatted about his experiences at Yale. Aritra is a Ph.D. candidate in astronomy. He uses the latest advances in machine learning combined with traditional techniques to study the formation and evolution of galaxies, and investigate the specific role played by Active Galactic Nuclei in this process.
