In the last two years, my research group has performed measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations with eBOSS data using Mg II absorption lines and the continuous Lyman-alpha transmission field. We have also studied quasar astrophysics through spectroscopic observations of variability and measured the mean transmission of Lyman-alpha photons through the intergalactic medium.

As the Principal Investigator for eBOSS, I worked with several other collaboration members to quantify the impact of our BAO and RSD measurements on the cosmological model. Looking ahead to future surveys and necessary instrumentation, I helped craft a 2020 Decadal Survey white paper to advocate for a 11.4-meter aperture telescope with a 5 sqdeg field of view and for new detectors to field in future facilities.

All of the results since 2009 that had leading contributions from members of my research group can be found on my Utah ADS page.
