UT Doctoral Student
is awarded an IPAC Visiting Graduate Fellowship at Caltech
Mr. Aditya Togi, an astrophysics doctoral student in UT’s Physics doctoral program in the College of
Natural Sciences and Mathematics, was recently awarded a highly competitive IPAC Caltech
Fellowship. This award provides funding for a visiting graduate student to
travel to IPAC- (Infrared Processing and Analysis Center) and spend a 6-month
period working with an IPAC scientist.
Aditya will spend spring semester 2014 at IPAC-Caltech working with Dr.
Lee Armus on “Understanding Luminous Infrared Galaxies with Herschel and
Spitzer.” He will be working to
analyze the Spitzer and Herschel spectra in order to constrain the energy
sources and physical conditions in rapidly evolving galaxies, and place them in
context with high-redshift galaxies. Mr. Togi is currently advised by Dr. Song
Cheng.
We congratulate Mr. Togi on this achievement!
