Darby Kramer is a 3rd year Astrophysics PhD Candidate here at SESE. Her advisor is Dr. Alexander Van Engelen. She is from Monticello, Iowa, and currently lives in Tempe. She received a bachelor of arts degree with a double major in Physics and Mathematics from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa. She loves dogs, golfing, warm weather, drumming, and looking at the night sky. She is currently studying patchy screening of the Cosmic Microwave Background due to free electrons in the ionized Universe. Her secondary project, with Dr. Rogier Windhorst, will soon be a published paper about replicating the Hubble UltraDeep Field onto itself to simulate natural confusion in order to quantify its effect on faint galaxy counts.
