McCourt

I’m a Hubble and KITP fellow at UC Santa Barbara. Before that, I was an ITC Fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and a grad student in the astronomy department at UC Berkeley. For my thesis, I worked with Professor Eliot Quataert, studying the intracluster medium of galaxy clusters. I did my undergraduate studies at Stanford University, where I majored in physics with a concentration in theoretical physics. My research there focused on modeling gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters.
