Kelley Michelle Hess

Senior Researcher at Onsala Space Observatory

I am the Scientific Lead for the Swedish SKA Regional Center (SWE-SRC). My research interests are in environmentally-driven galaxy evolution, especially in the group and cluster environment. I'm an expert in extragalactic radio astronomy, but study galaxies, groups, and clusters from a multi-wavelength perspective. I'm a member of several small to large collaborations including CHILES, Apertif, WEAVE-Apertif, LADUMA, WALLABY, 4HS. I have also occasionally dabbled in OH megamasers, barred galaxies, extraplanar gas in galaxies. I contribute to developing software tools for spectral line surveys including leading the SoFiA Image Pipeline, and an Advanced Data Product pipeline for ALMA (under development).
