Nathan Sandford

I am a fourth-year graduate student in Prof. Dan Weisz's group in the UC Berkeley Department of Astronomy. I study the evolution of Local Group dwarf galaxies using a combination of photometric and spectroscopic data, galactic chemical enrichment models, and stellar atmosphere and evolution models. I am also involved in the organization of the Sierra Conference, a conference (and camping trip) for UC astronomy graduate students by UC astronomy graduate students.

I grew up in Santa Clara, CA where I attended Adrian C. Wilcox High School. I graduated from Pomona College in 2017 with a BA in Physics and Astronomy with a minor in Mathematics from. While at Pomona, I studied the effects of feedback physics on the radial metallicity gradients of disk galaxies with Dr. Yu Lu¹.

My CV (current as of October 28, 2018) is available here.
