About Me

Hello! My name is Chloe Neufeld, and I am an astronomy Ph.D. candidate at Yale University, working with Prof. Pieter van Dokkum. My research focuses on the baryon cycle of dwarf galaxies (how galaxies accrete, use, recycle, and expel gas), using high spatial/spectral resolution observations with Keck/KCWI in combination with large-scale observations of the gas around galaxies (the circumgalactic medium, or CGM) with the upgraded 1000 lens Dragonfly narrowband array. I earned my undergraduate degree in physics (with an emphases in astropysics) and minored in math and art history at UC Davis working with Prof. Marusa Bradac.

You can find my research and other projects here.

Outside of astronomy, I love baking, crocheting, ceramics, traveling, and going to museums. I also have my hands full with my outspoken tortie cat Beans (pictured below).
