About Me

I'm currently an NSF Graduate Research Fellow specializing in astronomy at Stanford University. My work focuses on galaxy formation and cosmology; I'm fascinated by dark matter-galaxy co-evolution, galactic quenching mechanisms, and emission line modeling. Before beginning this PhD, I received my Bachelor's in Astronomy from the University of Colorado Boulder, where I was advised by Dr. Erica Nelson. I publish under my full name, Abigail I. Hartley.

Scientific creativity has also aided me in artistic endeavors over the years -- check out my drawings in the tabs above! :-)
