<h1>Dan Weisz</h1>
<p1> Associate Professor of <a href="https://astro.berkeley.edu" id="link">Astronomy</a> at <a href="https://www.berkeley.edu" id="link">UC Berkeley</a> </p1>
</header>
<p>I have broad interests in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.07571" id="link">near-field cosmology</a>, stars, dark matter, and the smallest galaxies in the Universe. I do a lot of space-based observing, statistical modeling, and comparisons of data to theoretical predictions from stellar evolution and galaxy formation models. I am the PI of the JWST <a href="http://ers-stars.github.io" id="link">Early Release Science program for resolved stellar populations</a> and PI of the HST Treasury Survey of M31 Satellite Galaxies. I am on the core leadership team of <a href="https://www.uvex.caltech.edu" id="link">UVEX</a> and I lead its low-mass, low-metallicity science program. <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/new-nasa-mission-will-study-ultraviolet-sky-stars-stellar-explosions/" id="link">The UVEX mission was selected by NASA in 2024 and is slated to launch in 2030</a>. My research has been recognized with numerous awards including a Sloan Fellowship, a Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, and the Newton Lacey Pierce Prize from the AAS. </p>
<p> I am currently hiring a post-bac to work on UVEX. More details on the <a href="https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04594" id="link">application page</a></p>

<div class="caption">
<p4> There is a fundamental connection between galaxies in the distant Universe and low-mass galaxies in the local Universe. I use the stellar fossil record of the faintest galaxies in local Universe to better understand dark matter, reionization, and cosmology. <a href="research.html" id="link"> See here for more. </a> </p4> <br> <br>

<p4> Nearby galaxies anchor our understanding of the Universe.

<p4>We are entering a golden age for stellar physics. I work on improving our understanding of stars (e.g., how to better measure their abundances and ages) using advanced statistical techniques. I am particularly interested in both high and low-mass stars in the metal-poor regime. <a href="research.html" id="link"> See here for more. </a>
