Jennifer Mack
Jennifer Mack is a Senior Data Analyst at the
Space Telescope
Institute. She received her undergraduate degree
in physics from
the University of Denver in 1993 and her Masters
degree in astrophysics
from the University of Minnesota in 1996. Ironically,
to have the
opportunity to work with pristine Hubble images,
Jennifer left the
clear, dark skies in the mountains of Colorado for
a job at STScI
in Baltimore. Though she now can only see a handful
of stars in the
sky, the stars (and galaxies) on her computer screen
easily make up for
this loss.
Jennifer is currently a member of the Advanced
Camera for Surveys group
and is actively involved with photometric calibration
using stellar
images of 47 Tucanae. She has also worked on a number
of intriguing
science projects, including the Hubble Deep Field.
Her research interests include galaxy tidal interactions,
galaxy cluster dynamics, galaxy formation at high
redshift, and the cosmologic anthropic principle.
Her hobbies include mountain biking, skiing, singing/songwriting,
photography, gardening, and making salsa.
