											<h2>About Me</h2>
										</header>
										<p> Hi!, I'm Robert Frazier, a 3rd year grad student at the University of Michigan Astronomy Department.
											I work with <a href="https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/liacorrales/"> Prof. Lia Corrales </a> on NUV observations of exoplanets and their host stars to
											better understand the relationship between the two and important properties like atmospheric escape and aerosol condensation.

											<p> I've recently finished up work with Emily Rauscher on comparing NIRISS observations of the
											ultrahot Jupiter WASP-121b with simulated spectra from 3-D Atmospheric Models.
											Through the observed and modeled spectroscopic phase curves of WASP-121 b we probe and better understand the
											extreme dynamics of ultrahot Jupiters.


											<p> <b><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/14yvictVe7DbTlJm67EOnn4H9cbMkQkfgGk6pb9EWSz0/edit?usp=sharing">Astronomy Resources Document</a></b>


											<p> In my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, Philly, and going down rabbit holes on wikipedia.

											<p>	You can reach me at robertcf@umich.edu! I'm on bluesky as bertmaneternal.bsky.social.  And here's my <a href="/images/RCF Grad School CV.docx (2).pdf"> CV</a>

										<h3> Hot Jupiter Dynamics </h3>
										<p> I worked with <a href="https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/emily-rauscher/home?authuser=0"> Emily Rauscher </a> using 3D climate models of WASP-121 b to better understand their dynamics
											and generate observables from these models to compare to observations. This lets us probe the extreme dynamics these worlds have, such as superrotational winds and large scale magnetic drag.</p>

										<h3> The Rossiter-McLaughlin Effect</h3>
										<p> At my undergrad, Penn State, I worked with <a href="https://science.psu.edu/astro/people/sqm107"> Suvrath Mahadevan </a> and <a href = "https://gummiks.github.io/"> Guðmundur Stefánsson </a> where we used high precision radial velocity measurements from NEID to
											determine the obliquities of the young sub-Neptune WASP-121b using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect.</p>

										<h3>Planetary Atmospheres and Evolution </h3>
										<p>Overall, I have a keen interest in everything that relates to planet atmospheres and evolution. I hope to work towards observations and models
										that help inform and constrain models for how planets and their atmospheres evolve and work.</p>

									<h2>Outreach and Service </h2>
									<p>I want to increase interest in science and support a welcoming environment
									wherever I am.</p>
								</header>

								<p> At the University of Michigan I have helped run outreach events with grade-school students as part of the <a href ="https://www.femmes.studentorgs.umich.edu/"> FEMMES program </a> .
									I'm also currently involved in a mentoring program between the grad students in the Astronomy Department and its undergrads through the Student Astronomical Society,
									and I serve as the Undergrad Liason between the grad students and undergrads.

								<p>While at Penn State I was the president of its <a href ="https://sites.psu.edu/psusps/"> Society of Physics Students (SPS) chapter </a> I worked tirelessly
								to try and make it an open and welcoming environment to everyone. I also committed to working towards diversity, equity, and inclusion
								in the physics department at Penn State. I assisted with and served as webmaster for <a href="https://sites.psu.edu/cuwip2023/"> the 2023 Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) being held
								at Penn State </a> and I was a part of the local <a href = "https://www.aps.org/programs/innovation/fund/idea.cfm"> APS IDEA team </a> where we worked to increase diversity in the department. One of my continuous goals has
								been to try and make the undergraduates feel like they are a part of the department, and not people passing through. To this end I
								worked on increased information shared with us undergrads and on more events and activities where professors, graduates, and undergrads can
								interact in a non-academic environment. </p>
