Amy Sardone is a postdoc in the Department of Astronomy, studying star formation in galaxies outside of the Milky Way. She received her PhD in Physics & Astronomy in 2019 from West Virginia University. She is an observational astronomer, working on gas flowing into and out of galaxies, and how that gas contributes to star formation. This star formation occurs over cosmic timescales and can be measured by detecting the diffuse gas within the dark matter halo of a galaxy.
