CASA Users Committee

• CASA Users Committee Terms of Reference

Current Committee Membership

• Adam Leroy (NA, 2021 - chair): Adam Leroy is an associate professor at Ohio State University. His research focuses on radio, millimeter, and infrared observations of galaxies and the interstellar medium using both spectral lines and continuum. He is a frequent user of both ALMA and the Very Large Array. Email: Adam Leroy
• Ruta Kale (IN, 2021): Ruta Kale is a staff member at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Pune, India. Her research focuses on non-thermal phenomena in clusters of galaxies and radio galaxies. She frequently uses the GMRT and the JVLA and has developed a CASA based pipeline for the Upgraded GMRT data reduction. Email: Ruta Kale
• Yoshimasa Watanabe (EA, 2021): Yoshimasa Watanabe is a staff member at the Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan. Email: Yoshimasa Watanabe
• Jihyun Kang (EA, 2021): Jihyun Kang is a Senior Researcher at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, interested in star formation in general using KVN, VLA, and ALMA. Email: Jihyun Kang
• Olga Bayandina (EU, 2021): Olga Bayandina is a postdoc at the INAF, Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri in Florence, Italy. She has been involved in testing the CASA fringe-fitting features for the VLBI data, as well as in developing a CASA calibration pipeline for the spectral line data of the European VLBI Network. She is currently testing the new high-frequency receivers of the INAF telescope array. Olga's research is focused on the VLA and VLBI studies of cosmic masers associated with star formation regions. Email: Olga Bayadina
• Yu-Nung Su (NA, 06/22): Yu-Nung Su is a Project Research Manager and regional ALMA ARC manager at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) in Taiwan. His research interest is in star formation, specialized in radio astronomy. Email: Yu-Nung Su
• Abhijeet Borkar (EU, 2022): Abhijeet Borkar is a research scientist at the Astronomical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, working at the Czech node of the European ALMA Regional Center. His research interests are studying the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies and their interaction with the host galaxy, particularly using radio interferometry techniques. Email: Abhijeet Borkar
• Imke de Pater (NA, 2022): Imke de Pater is a Professor Emerita at the University of California in Berkeley. She has pioneered the work on Jupiter’s synchrotron radiation, and uses the VLA, ALMA, and optical/infrared telescopes (Keck, HST, JWST) for studying giant planets, their satellites and rings systems in the solar system. Email: Imke de Pater
• Jane Huang (NA, 2022): Jane is a Sagan Fellow in the NASA Hubble Fellowship Program at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on characterizing the structure and chemistry of protoplanetary disks with ALMA. Jane is also active in addressing inequities in the public education system through her public outreach. Email: Jane Huang
• Kristina Nyland (NA, 2022): Kristina is a staff radio astronomer in the Remote Sensing Division at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. She uses radio telescopes and multi-wavelength data to study galaxy evolution, and the role that energetic feedback from massive black holes plays in this process. Email: Kristina Nyland
