Talk Description
Submillimeter Astronomy: Astrochemistry and Star Formation
1 hour public talk for audience with a general science
background. I have used the talk for introductory astronomy courses to
highlight interesting aspects of submillimeter and radio astronomy in
understanding astrochemistry and star formation.

Deriving the Physical Structure of High-mass Star-forming Regions
1 hour scientific talk for a professional audience. Describes results of radiative transfer modeling of submillimeter dust continuum towards
high-mass, star-forming cores and interpretation of fully sampled maps of CS J=5-4 emission.
