► Proficient in producing and analyzing radio interferometric images (VLBI) from 1.2 GHz up to 86 GHz► Observed and analyzed single-dish radio data from 2.6 GHz to 345 GHz► Expert in data analysis of large high-resolution data sets► Experienced in optical and Fermi gamma-ray data► Disseminated results via publications and talks► Coordinated the F-GAMMA Legacy Project aimed at administration, publication, and archiving of large multi-wavelength data setsBlazars are accretion-powered systems representing the most extreme flavor of active galactic nuclei (AGN). My research focuses on the study of the blazar PKS 1502+106 during a prominent broadband outburst, using ultra-high resolution imaging and a broadband single-dish study. The former is accomplished through very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) at short millimeter (mm) wavelengths, while the latter uses densely-sampled radio light curves in a wide radio frequency range.
